Abstract
Neutrinos are assumed to be massless in the standard model (SM) of particle physics. They can only have weak interactions with matter. In this chapter we shall first introduce the SM of electroweak interactions and then describe neutrino-electron scattering, neutrino-neutrino scattering and neutrino-nucleon interactions. The coherent forward scattering of neutrinos with matter, which is very important for neutrino oscillations in matter, will also be discussed in some detail.
