Neutrino physics has become one of the most exciting areas in particle physics and related fields, especially after the SuperKamiokande evidence for neutrino oscillation the last June. If this is true, the Standard Model is clearly incomplete. The basics in neutrinos physics and the current status in neutrino oscillation are reviewed in the first half. Cosmology has also entered a new era with quantitative observations. Despite its importance, it has not been taught in physics or astronomy department for many years. The lectures introduce cosmology without assuming prior knowledge on general relativity in the second half.

Physics 229C usually assumes the knowledge in quantum field theory and standard model (taught in 229AB). But the topics this semester can be studied and understood without 229AB. Even if you have not taken 229AB, you are welcome to take the course. Absolute prerequisites are basic graduate-level quantum mechanics.

Physics 229C can be taken multiple times. For those of you who prefer lighter workload (just an essay at the end of the course) are requested to enroll in Physics 295.
