Directions in Detector Development

Over the last 25 years, we've made rapid progress understanding the fundamental nature of neutrinos. We're now faced with several outstanding questions. What is the nature of neutrino mass? What is the ordering of the three known neutrino masses? Do neutrinos oscillate differently than antineutrinos? These are challenging questions, and the answers will require a new generation of sophisticated detectors. Consequently, experimentalists have pushed themselves in many different directions in search of elegant and economical detector designs. A select number of recent developments in the area of neutrino detector development will be highlighted in this talk, and their potential impact on the field will be discussed.
