Starting from a review of theoretical concepts and experimental results in the early years of neutrino physics after Pauli's 1930
letter, today's double role of the neutrino as a cornerstone of the Standard Model and as a promising probe of physics beyond the
Standard Model will be discussed.
Topics comprise:
- Conventional neutrino beams
- Neutrinos as probes of the nucleon structure
- Neutrinos from the universe
- Dirac or Majorana neutrinos
- Neutrino oscillations
- MNS matrix
- CP violation in the lepton sector
- Neutrino factory.
