Description
The last decade has seen tremendous progress in the field of neutrino physics, which is now entering a precision era. Accurate analyses of laboratory and cosmological data enable us to determine the basic standard neutrino parameters and constrain their possible new properties, which emerge in common extensions of the standard model, thus probing the universe at the smallest scales.
He will review the status of this field of research, focusing on the three hot issues:
I) The indication of non-zero theta_13 --- the smallest and unknown leptonic mixing angle --- emerging from the global neutrino data analyses;
II) The possible hint of new neutrino interactions suggested by the latest solar neutrino data;
III) The indications of new sterile neutrinos implied by the recent searches performed at solar, reactor and accelerators experiments.
