Neutrino: the mutant particle

Area 02 – Scienze fisiche

On October 2015 the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced that the Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 was assligned to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass. This is the academic acknowledgement of a result which has deeply modified our understanding of fundamental physics. In about twenty yewars of exciting discoveries neutrino physics has changed from a pioneering discovery activity into a mature precision science. In this volume we collect a set of articles presenting modern issues of neutrino physics.
