The recent discovery by SuperKamiokande of evidence for neutrino masses requires the addition of at least seven new parameters to the Standard Model. We discuss the general theoretical schemes which require their inclusion, and point out…
The central role of neutrinos in the determination of fundamental interactions is reviewed. The recent SuperKamiokande discovery of neutrino mass gives an {\it aper\c cu} of physics at short distances, and tests theories of flavor.…
Current theoretical and experimental issues are reviewed in the light of the recent SuperKamiokande discovery. By using quark-lepton symmetries, derived from Grand Unification and/or string theories, we show how to determine the necessary…
Heavy neutral leptons are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model with massive neutrinos. If kinematically accessible, they can be copiously produced from kaon and pion decays in atmospheric showers, and subsequently decay inside…
While neutrino physics enters precision era, several important unknowns remain. Atmospheric neutrinos allow to simultaneously test key oscillation parameters, with Super-Kamiokande experiment playing a central role. We discuss results from…
After a review of the early history of neutrinos and their detection, we analyze the different types of models that extend the standard model to massive neutrinos. We emphasize the generic nature of maximal mixing between muon and tau…
Recent observations of distant supernovae show that the universe, contrary to popular belief, is expanding for ever. Similarly, recent experiments at the Superkamiokande facility demonstrate that the Neutrino has a non vanishing mass. Both…
Within the framework of unified gauge models, interactions responsible for neutrino masses can also provide mechanisms for nucleon instability. We discuss their implications concretely in the light of recent results on neutrino oscillation…

Super-Kamiokande collaboration assumes that the direction of every observed lepton coincides with the incoming direction of the incident neutrino, which is the fundamental basement throughout all their analysis on neutrino oscillation. We…
We investigate the ability of the upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) neutrino experiment to detect new physics phenomena beyond the standard, three-massive-neutrinos paradigm; namely the existence of a fourth, sterile neutrino or…

Recent results on neutrino oscillations and neutrino masses are presented. The most exciting news are the Super-Kamiokande measurements of atmospheric neutrinos, which show evidence for the neutrinos being massive. Various possible schemes…
Status of determination of the neutrino masses and mixing is formulated and possible uncertainties, especially due to presence of the sterile neutrinos, are discussed. The data hint an existence of special ``neutrino'' symmetries. If not…
We review the present state of and future outlook for our understanding of neutrino masses and mixings. We discuss what we think are the most important perspectives on the plausible and natural scenarios for neutrinos and what may have the…
The SuperKamiokande data on atmospheric neutrinos imply that $\nu_{\mu}$ has large (or even maximal) mixing. It is still open question whether this mixing is the flavor one or mixing with singlet state (sterile neutrino). Several tests…
Motivated by the recent SuperKamiokande results on atmospheric neutrinos, we incorporate massive neutrinos, with large angle oscillation between the second and third generations, in a theory with R-parity violating supersymmetry. The…
In this talk we will discuss the physics reach of the atmospheric neutrino data collected by a future megaton-class neutrino detector. After a general discussion of the potentialities of atmospheric neutrinos on general basis, we will…
Supernova neutrinos are invaluable signals that offer information about the interior of supernovae. Because a nearby supernova can occur at any time, preparing for future supernova neutrino observation is an urgent task. For the prompt…
We use the detection of neutrinos from a future galactic type-II supernova event in a water Cerenkov detector like Super-Kamiokande to constrain the possible violation of spin-statistics by neutrinos resulting in their obeying a mixed…
