Neutrino physics

Neutrino physics has a glorious past at CERN. It entered the scene with the groundbreaking discovery of neutral currents in 1973, and made essential contributions, until 1984, toward establishing the rule of the Standard Model. Natureʹs choice of neutrino oscillation parameters was not favourable to CERN experiments carried out in the subsequent phase, until 1998. However, the new neutrino beam to Gran Sasso permits CERN to play a major role in forthcoming long-baseline studies of neutrino oscillations.
