This course aims to show you what neutrinos are, their history, and how they can be crucial to understand our universe. A very important problem nowadays is the asymmetry between matter and antimatter. We are made of matter and exist because of this asymmetry. We don’t understand this imbalance and neutrinos can be a very useful insight. We will cover this and see how this research is also very useful to society.
