Abstract:
The neutrino oscillation is the only firm phenomenon that can not be
explained by the standard model of elementary particle physics. In
these years, the last neutrino mixing angle Theta_13 and the nu_mu to
nu_e appearance oscillation have been measured. The next important
subjects are to measure the leptonic CP violation and mass ordering of
m_1 and m_ 3. In the former part of this talk, current status of the
neutrino oscillation experiments are presented and future prospects are
discussed.
The latter part of this talk is for educational purpose. Not only the
neutrino oscillation, many kinds of oscillations take place in various
physics phenomena; most of them bear important physics. Such important
physics can be understood as the same way as the neutrino oscillation.
In some cases, abstract concepts, such as Iso-Spin and C-Parity, can be
understood by the concrete idea of the superposition structure of high
frequency oscillations. Examples of such quantum oscillations are
explained relating to the neutrino oscillation mechanism.
