Neutrino Oscillations: Theory and Phenomenology

This lecture covers the theory and phenomenology of neutrino oscillations, including the observation of neutrinos in inverse beta decays, neutrino oscillation probabilities, three-family mixing, and the MSW effect in the Sun. It also discusses the propagation of neutrinos in matter, the eigenstates of neutrino mass matrix, and the impact of neutrino oscillations in vacuum. The presentation delves into the concept of neutrino flavour and mass eigenstates, the unitary matrix for neutrino mixing, and the experimental results in the sin^2(2θ) vs. Δm^2 plane. The lecture concludes with a detailed explanation of the MSW effect and its implications on neutrino oscillations.
