Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles in nature. In this talk, we will introduce neutrinos as fundamental particles, exploring their unique properties and the pivotal role they play in understanding the universe.
We will dive deep into the history of neutrino discovery, to how these elusive particles have challenged our understanding of the universe. Despite their abundance, many mysteries surrounding neutrinos remain unsolved: Do they have mass? If so, how much? Why do they oscillate between different types, or flavors, as they travel through space? And what implications do these properties have for our understanding of the early universe and the matter-antimatter asymmetry?
