Neutrino masses and mixings and . . . Alessandro Strumia

We review experimental and theoretical results related to neutrino physics with emphasis on neutrino masses and mixings, and outline possible lines of development. We try to present the physics in a simple way, avoiding unnecessary verbosity, formalisms and details. Comments, criticisms, etc are welcome. We want to upgrade this ‘review’ or ‘book’ at the light of future developments: therefore for the moment we publish it only on arXiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0606054 and www.pi.infn.it/∼astrumia/review.html in electronic form. Nowadays it has several advantages over printed form, but prevents an official refereeing process. We asked some experts to privately referee the parts less connected to our research activity. The review is organized as follows: • Chapter 1: a brief overview. • Chapters 2, 3, 4: the basic tools. • Chapters 5, 6: the established discoveries (solar and atmospheric). • Chapters 7, 8: future searches for neutrino oscillation and neutrino masses. • Chapter 9: unconfirmed anomalies. • Chapters 10, 11: neutrinos in cosmology and astronomy. • Chapters 12, 13, 14: speculative lines of development. Acronyms are listed in appendix A. Appendix B summarizes basic facts concerning statistics. The last pages contain the detailed index. ar X iv :h ep -p h/ 06 06 05 4v 2 2 4 A pr 2 00 7
