• Solar and atmospheric neutrinos

Possible explanations of solar neutrino and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are summarized and future tests discussed.

• Neutrino anomalies without oscillations

I review explanations for the three neutrino anomalies (solar, atmospheric and LSND) which go beyond the ‘conventional’ neutrino oscillations induced by mass-mixing. Several of these require non-zero neutrino masses as well.

• Discussion on a possible neutrino detector located in India

We have identified some important and worthwhile physics opportunities with a possible neutrino detector located in India. Particular emphasis is placed on the geographical advantage with a stress on the complimentary aspects with respect to other neutrino detectors already in operation.

• Experimental and phenomenological status of neutrino anomalies

The current status of neutrino anomalies is summarized; the KamLAND experiment is described and the recent results of KamLAND presented.

• $D^{0} - \bar{D}^{0}$ mixing and new physics

The Standard Model (SM) and new physics (NP) descriptions of $D^{0}$ mixing are discussed. The SM part of the discussion addresses both quark-level and hadron-level contributions. The NP part describes our recent works on the rate difference $\Delta \Gamma_{D}$ and the mass difference $\Delta M_{\text{D}}$. In particular, we describe how the recent experimental determination of $\Delta M_{\text{D}}$ is found to place tightened restrictions on parameter spaces for 17 out of the 21 NP models considered.
