The solar neutrino problem has persisted for almost three decades. Recent results from Kamiokande, SAGE, and GALLEX indicate a pattern of neutrino fluxes that is very difficult to reconcile with plausible variations in standard solar…
We propose simple phenomenological lepton mass matrices which describe the three neutrinos almost degenerate in mass, leading to a very large mixing angle between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$, as consistent with a recent report on atmospheric…
In most of the proposals for new physics beyond the standard model, neutrinos have new interactions and some of them have phenomenological consequences that, although at present they may seem purely academic, probably will have to be taken…
The complete description of neutrino oscillations require the wave packet treatment. For terrestrial experiments the contribution from the interaction of neutrino with the Earth matter would modify oscillation pattern, i.e., the dependence…
We propose the new mechanism of neutrino flavour relaxation to explain the experimentally observed changes of initial neutrino flavour fluxes. The test of neutrino relaxation hypothesis is presented, using the data of modern reactor, solar…
The relativistic corrections to the Maxwellian velocity distribution are needed for standard solar models. Relativistic equilibrium velocity distribution, if adopted in standard solar models, will lower solar neutrino fluxes and change…
In this talk I review the potential of Icecube for revealing physics beyond the standard model in the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos.
Solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are described by bimaximal mixing of three neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations in appearance nu_e <--> nu_mu,nu_tau and in disappearance nu_e long baseline and atmospheric experiments are sensitive to…
We reconsider neutrino decay as an explanation for atmospheric neutrino observations. We show that if the mass-difference relevant to the two mixed states \nu_\mu and \nu_\tau is very small (< 10^{-4} eV^2), then a very good fit to the…
The recent results from the Soudan 2, MACRO and SuperKamiokande experiments on atmospheric neutrino oscillations are summarized and discussed. Some features of possible future atmospheric neutrino experiments are presented.
A general overview of neutrino physics is given, starting with a historical account of the development of our understanding of neutrinos and how they helped to unravel the structure of the Standard Model. We discuss why it is so important…
We show how a unified description of the various two-flavor neutrino oscillation solutions, allowed by the atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments, are naturally realized within the framework of $\nu$MSSM (MSSM augmented with the seesaw…
We study the evolution of two mixed Dirac neutrinos in an external axial-vector field. The dynamics of this system is described in the framework of relativistic wave equations approach on the basis of the known solutions of the Dirac…
The Standard Model of particle physics describes neutrinos as massless, chargeless elementary particles that come in three different flavours. However, recent experiments indicate that neutrinos not only have mass, but also have multiple…
The most promising solution to the solar neutrino problem are neutrino oscillations, which usually are analyzed within the reduced 2-flavor scheme, because the solutions found therein reasonably well reproduce the recent data of…
I propose a simple extension of the bi-maximal neutrino mixing pattern, allowing slight coupling between solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations as well as large CP violation. The new scenario is compatible with either the vacuum…
The formalism for neutrino flavor change induced by lepton family number violating interactions is developed for the three-neutrino case, and used to derive the corresponding flavor change probabilities in matter. Applied to the solar and…
Sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance can emerge from the study of neutrino oscillations, particularly for atmospheric neutrinos where the effect is conveniently near-maximal and has been observed over a wide range of energies. We assume…
Some of the hot topics in neutrino physics are discussed, with particular emphasis on neutrino oscillations. After proposing credibility criteria for assessing various claimed effects, particular stress is laid on the solar neutrino…
We consider flavor changing effective neutrino interactions in the context of massive neutrinos in the issue of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming as usual that this is an indication of the oscillation of muon neutrinos into tau neutrinos we…
