The Physics of Neutrinos
by R.Z. Funchal, B. Schmauch, G. Giesen
Publisher: arXiv 2013
Number of pages: 67
Description:
We start by giving a panorama of neutrino experiments. We briefly discuss the history of neutrinos, their experimental discovery, the quest for neutrino flavor oscillations and the experiments that finally established them. We also address non-oscillation terrestrial neutrino experiments that try to measure the absolute neutrino mass and to show whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana fermions...

Introduction to the Standard Model of the Electro-Weak Interactionsby Jean Iliopoulos - arXiv
These are lectures which I gave at the 2012 CERN Summer School. They cover the basics of gauge symmetries and the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetry breaking which are used in the construction of the Standard Model of the Electro-Weak Interactions.

Cosmology and Dark Matterby V. A. Rubakov - arXiv
Theoretical hypotheses on the nature of the dark matter particles are numerous, so we concentrate on several candidates, such as WIMPs, axions and sterile neutrinos, and also give examples of more elusive candidates such as fuzzy dark matter.
