Neutrino Physics

TL;DR

This paper reviews the properties of neutrinos within and beyond the Standard Model, focusing on their tiny masses and oscillation phenomena supported by recent experimental evidence.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of neutrino properties, highlighting recent discoveries of neutrino masses and oscillations beyond the Standard Model.

Findings

Neutrinos have tiny but non-zero masses.

Neutrino oscillations demonstrate flavor change.

Evidence supports physics beyond the Standard Model.

Abstract

The Standard Model has been incredibly successful in predicting the outcome of almost all the experiments done up so far. In it, neutrinos are mass-less. However, in recent years we have accumulated evidence pointing to tiny masses for the neutrinos (as compared to the charged leptons). These masses allow neutrinos to change their flavour and oscillate. In these lectures I review the properties of neutrinos in and beyond the Standard Model.
