Neutrino Physics and Astronomy
The importance of understanding neutrino physics and cosmic ray neutrinos is gathering attention both in the particle physics community and in the astronomy/cosmology community. Not only are neutrinos proving to be an essential element in understanding astronomical processes at extremely high energies, they seem to give us clues about sources and processes at all energy scales, from the Sun to supernovae and AGNs. The primordial neutrino backgroud will give us information about structure formation in the early universe, and measuring the absolute mass will be important in understanding their contribution to the energy density of the universe as well as rewriting the standard model to give them precise mass terms. I will start with the very basics of leptons and weak interaction and try to cover as much neutrino physics as possible that would be of interest in astronomy or cosmology. I will also talk about a few ongoing neutrino astronomy experiments.
