Abstract

Various issues in neutrino phenomenology are reviewed, including: the possibility of large mixing angles in various models for neutrino masses, difficulties for degenerate neutrinos as candidates for hot dark matter, strategies for discriminating between different oscillation interpretations of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies, the programme of work for long-baseline neutrino experiments, and the possible future option of a muon storage ring as a neutrino factory.
