+== Neutrino's phenomenology for 3rd year students ==
+
+This is a workshop intended for 3rd year physics majors on neutrino's oscillations.
+Tee prerequisites are Quantum Mechanics and Special relativity. No Relativistic Quantum Mechanics or QFT needed.
+The aim is to understand the basics of the oscillation physics, to be able to understand the experimental plots and 
+eventually address the debate which was going a few years ago on the famous factor of two.

+
+=== Exercises ===
+
+   1. Derive the expression for the probability that a neutrino created with flavor l at time t=0 evolves to a different flavor l' after a time t.
+   1. Write it in terms of a distance from the creation point. Assume neutrino's move (almost) at the speed of light. The probability depends on the neutrino's masses: How?
+   1. Find the explicit formulas in the case of two flavor oscillations.
+   1. Consider unstable neutrinos
