1	Theoretical and Phenomenological Studies of Neutrino Physics Blennow, Mattias January 2007 (has links) This thesis is devoted to the theory and phenomenology of neutrino physics. While the standard model of particle physics has been extremely successful, it fails to account for massive neutrinos, which are necessary to describe the observations of neutrino oscillations made by several different experiments. Thus, neutrino physics is a possible window for exploring the physics beyond the standard model, making it both interesting and important for our fundamental understanding of Nature. Throughout this thesis, we will discuss different aspects of neutrino physics, ranging from taking all three types of neutrinos into account in neutrino oscillation experiments to exploring the possibilities of neutrino mass models to produce a viable source of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The emphasis of the thesis is on neutrino oscillations which, given their implication of neutrino masses, is a phenomenon where other results that are not describable in the standard model could be found, such as new interactions between neutrinos and fermions. / QC 20100630 neutrino mass neutrino mixing neutrino oscillations matter effects non-standard effects the day-night effect solar neutrinos accelerator neutrinos exact solutions three-flavor effects large density neutrino decay neutrino decoherence neutrino absorption non-standard neutrino interactions seesaw mechanism stability criteria leptogenesis Physics Fysik
