Neutrino spectrum from theory and experiments

  • Published:
Pramana Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The observed deficits in the solar and atmospheric neutrino fluxes along with the accelerator results on neutrino oscillations significantly constrain possible mass and mixing patterns among neutrinos. We discuss possible patterns emerging from the experimental results and review theoretical attempts to understand them.
