After a brief review of the results of solar, atmospheric and long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments which led to the current three-neutrino mixing paradigm, we discuss indications of neutrino oscillation experiments in favor of…
We discuss what information about the neutrino mass spectrum and the elements of the neutrino mixing matrix can be inferred from the results of neutrino oscillation experiments. The cases of three and four massive neutrinos are considered.…
Neutrino oscillations are now a well-stablished and deeply studied phenomena. Their mixing parameters, except for the CP phase, are measured with good accuracy. The three-neutrino oscillation picture in matter is currently of great interest…
Neutrino oscillations present the only robust example of experimentally detected physics beyond the standard model. This review discusses the established and several hypothetical beyond standard models neutrino characteristics and their…
The question of neutrino mass is one of the major riddles in particle physics. Recently, strong evidence that neutrinos have nonzero masses has been found. While tiny, these masses could be large enough to contribute significantly to the…
Interpretation and understanding of the evidence for neutrino oscillations depends on knowledge of the atmospheric neutrino beam. In this talk I assess how well various features are known. The goal is to determine to what extent…
A revolution in our understanding of the neutrino sector is underway, driven by observations that are interpreted in terms of changes in neutrino flavors as they propagate. Since neutrino oscillations occur only if neutrinos are massive,…
Neutrinos in the Standard Model of particle physics are massless, neutral fermions that seemingly do little more than conserve 4-momentum, angular momentum, lepton number, and lepton flavour in weak interactions. In the last decade…

Using an analogy with the well-known double-slit experiment, we show that the standard phase of neutrino oscillations is correct, refuting recent claims of a factor of two correction. We also improve the wave packet treatment of neutrino…
I review some aspects concerning the physics of neutrino mixing and oscillations. I discuss in some detail the physical neutrino oscillations parameter space in the case of two and three family mixing, and briefly describe the current…
In the standard theory of neutrino oscillations it is supposed that physical observed neutrino states $\nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$ have no definite masses, that they are initially produced as a mixture of the $\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, \nu_{3}$…
The formulation of the alternative theory of neutrino oscillations is presented. Also the application of that theory to a system of neutrinos produced by a source is formulated and some basic formulae are derived.
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, being elusive subatomic particles having only weak interactions, provide an ideal platform to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In the present era of neutrino physics, various experiments are focusing towards the…

We discuss neutrino oscillations in the framework of the quantum field theory without introducing the concept of neutrino weak eigenstates. The external particles are described by wave packets and the different mass eigenstate neutrinos…
We develop a general and consistent model of neutrino oscillation based on the quantum field theoretical description of the neutrino production and detection processes. Emphasis is placed on the locality of the interactions of these…
The key challenges for models with large extra dimensions, posed by neutrino physics are: first to understand why neutrino masses are small and second, whether one can have a simultaneous explanation of all observed oscillation phenomena.…
