Neutrinos: Windows to New Physics
Abstract
Description
After briefly reviewing how the symmetries of the Standard Model (SM) are affected by neutrino masses and mixings, I discuss how these parameters may arise from GUTs and how patterns in the neutrino sector may reflect some underlying family symmetry. Leptogenesis provides a nice example of how different physical phenomena may be connected to the same neutrino window of physics beyond the SM. I end with some comments on the LSND signal and briefly discuss the idea that neutrinos have environment dependent masses.
