Abstract

[Neutrinos are truly fascinating particles that, due to their extraordinary properties, have played and continue to play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. In the first part of this chapter we review the basic properties of neutrinos from a historical perspective until the discovery of neutrino mass, approximately a decade ago. We then devote one section to the topic of neutrino oscillations, the study of which constitutes the main purpose of the MINOS experiment. We end with an assessment of the open questions in neutrino physics, with a particular emphasis on those addressed by this thesis.]
