Neutrino Physics - Models for Neutrino Masses and Lepton Mixing

Abstract

In these lecture notes we present mechanisms for the generation of Majorana neutrino masses and lepton mixing. We consider simple extensions of the Standard Model. Apart from a section about radiative mass generation, we put special emphasis on the seesaw mechanism and mu-tau interchange symmetry.
