"Neutrino Physics: New Perspectives from KamLAND"


  It has been one year since the KamLAND collaboration presented
  its first results on antineutrinos from distant nuclear
  reactors.

  These measurements from KamLAND have provided unique insight
  into the behaviour of neutrinos as they propagate. They are
  independent and complementary to the recent advances made in
  the experimental study of neutrinos from the Sun.

  With increased data statistics and improvements to the
  experiment and analyses, KamLAND is expected to probe an array
  of topics covering many aspects of neutrino physics. Many of
  these topics are accessible uniquely to KamLAND.

  In this talk, I briefly review KamLAND and its first results,
  and then discuss its current status, and near and longer term
  future, with an emphasis on the breadth and variety of physics
  topics soon to be within its reach.
