Neutrino oscillations: Recent results and future directionsAMITAVA RAYCHAUDHURIDepartment of Physics, University of Calcutta, 92 Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road, Abstract A brief introduction to the phenomena of vacuum neutrino oscillations and resonant flavour conversion is presented with a heavy pedagogic leaning. Variants of these ideas, e.g., neutrino helicity flip in a magnetic field, violation of the equivalence principle, etc. are outlined. A few vexing issues pertaining to the quantum mechanics of neutrino oscillations are discussed. Expectations from some of the future experiments are summarized. Keywords Neutrino; oscillation.PACS No. 14.60.Pq; 26.65.+t |
