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...

Non-Abelian Discrete Symmetries in Particle Physicsby Hajime Ishimori, at al. - arXiv
The authors review pedagogically non-Abelian discrete groups, which play an important role in the particle physics. They show group-theoretical aspects for many concrete groups, such as representations, their tensor products.

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.

The angular momentum controversy: What's it all about and does it matter?by E. Leader, C. Lorce - arXiv
The general question, crucial to the internal structure of nucleon, of how to split the total angular momentum of a photon or gluon into spin and orbital contributions is one of the most important and interesting challenges faced by gauge theories.
