“…Recent detectors [241] are divided into two classes: water Cherenkov detectors where the neutrino target is a large volume of water surveyed by a huge array of photomultiplier tubes sitting on the surface of the volume (the Kamiokande [49,242,243], SuperKamiokande [2] and IMB [50,244,245] collaborations) and iron plate calorimeters where neutrino-induced charged particles ionize the gas between the plates and the particle paths are reconstructed electronically (the Fréjus [246], NUSEX [247] and Soudan-2 [51] collaborations). In contrast to the early detectors the recent detectors are sensitive to the direction of tracks and can thus distinguish between up and down through-going tracks.…”

This review is focused on neutrino mixing and neutrino oscillations in the light of the recent experimental developments. After discussing possible types of neutrino mixing for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos and considering in detail the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and matter, we review all existing evidence and indications in favour of neutrino oscillations that have been obtained in the atmospheric, solar and LSND experiments. We present the results of the analyses of the neutrino oscillation data in the framework of mixing of three and four massive neutrinos and investigate possibilities to test the different neutrino mass and mixing schemes obtained in this way. We also discuss briefly future neutrino oscillation experiments.

“…The atmospheric neutrino anomaly was discovered in the late 1980s in the Kamiokande [34] and IMB [35] experiments. In 1998 the Super-Kamiokande experiment found a model independent evidence of muon (anti)neutrino disappearance in atmospheric neutrino data [36].…”

The main goal of the paper is to give a short review on neutrino electromagnetic properties. In the introductory part of the paper a summary on what we really know about neutrinos is given: we discuss the basics of neutrino mass and mixing as well as the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations. This is important for the following discussion on neutrino electromagnetic properties that starts with a derivation of the neutrino electromagnetic vertex function in the most general form, that follows from the requirement of Lorentz invariance, for both the Dirac and Majorana cases. Then, the problem of the neutrino form factors definition and calculation within gauge models is considered. In particular, we discuss the neutrino electric charge form factor and charge radius, dipole magnetic and electric and anapole form factors. Available experimental constraints on neutrino electromagnetic properties are also discussed, and the recently obtained experimental limits on neutrino magnetic moments are reviewed. The most important neutrino electromagnetic processes involving a direct neutrino coupling with photons (such as neutrino radiative decay, neutrino Cherenkov radiation, spin light of neutrino and plasmon decay into neutrino-antineutrino pair in media) and neutrino resonant spin-flavor precession in a magnetic field are discussed at the end of the paper.

“…One should also note that the IMB collaboration has in the past measured a stopping/passing ratio for upward-going muons in agreement with a no oscillation Montecarlo prediction [28] (see [29] for a critical analysis).…”

The measurements of the fluxes of atmospheric neutrinos give evidence for the disappearance of muon neutrinos. The determination of the dependence of the disappearance probability on the neutrino energy and trajectory allows in principle to establish unambiguosly the existence of neutrino oscillations. Alternative mechanisms for the disappearance of the neutrinos have been proposed, but do not provide a viable description of the data, if one includes both events where the neutrinos interact in the detector and ν-induced upward going muons. The proposed mechanisms differ in the energy dependence of the disappearance probability and the upward going muon data that are produced by high energy neutrinos give a crucial constraint.
