Physics of Neutrino Mass

Abstract

Recent discoveries in the field of neutrino oscillations have provided a unique window into physics beyond the standard model. In this lecture, I summarize how well we understand the various observations, what they tell us about the nature of new physics and what we are likely to learn as some of the planned experiments are carried out.
