Reviews the current state of knowledge of neutrino masses and
the related question of neutrino oscillations. After an overview of
the theory of neutrino masses and mixings, detailed accounts are
given of the laboratory limits on neutrino masses, astrophysical
and cosmological constraints on those masses, experimental results
on neutrino oscillations, the theoretical interpretation of those
results, and theoretical models of neutrino masses and mixings. The
book concludes with an examination of the potential of
long-baseline experiments. This is an essential reference text for
workers in elementary-particle physics, nuclear physics, and
astrophysics.

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. With this
graduate-level primer, the principles of the standard model of
particle physics receive a particular skillful, personal and
enduring exposition by one of the great contributors to the field.
In 2013 the late Prof. Altarelli wrote: The discovery of the Higgs
boson and the non-observation of new particles or exotic phenomena
have made a big step towards completing the experimental
confirmation of the standard model of fundamental particle
interactions. It is thus a good moment for me to collect, update
and improve my graduate lecture notes on quantum chromodynamics and
the theory of electroweak interactions, with main focus on collider
physics. I hope that these lectures can provide an introduction to
the subject for the interested reader, assumed to be already
familiar with quantum field theory and some basic facts in
elementary particle physics as taught in undergraduate courses.
"These lecture notes are a beautiful example of Guido's unique
pedagogical abilities and scientific vision". From the Foreword by
Gian Giudice
