Mini lectures: neutrinos

This mini lecture from the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings provides a historical perspective on the work of Pauli in postulating the existence of the 'ghost particle' with no electrical charge and virtually no mass. Following the discovery of the neutrino and its associated 'flavours', the lecture then explores the idea of neutrino oscillation. The work of Kajita and MacDonald, who won the Nobel Prize in 2015, is described as is the ongoing research in the Ice Cube at the south pole.
