baryon and lepton number violation in the standard model,
electroweak baryogenesis and leptogenesis.

- Double Beta Decay: A review
Neutrinoless double beta decay is one of the most
sensitive probes for physics beyond the standard
model. Among others it provides, for example, the
most stringent limit on the absolute mass scale of
(Majorana) neutrinos. This talk begins with a fairly
general introduction to double beta decay and then
moves on to discuss contributions to BB from more
exotic particle physics models. Finally possible
connections between neutrino oscillation experiments
and double beta decay are briefly outlined.
- Phenomenology of Supersymmetric Models with Bilinear R-parity breaking
Supersymmetric models with bilinear R-parity breaking generate
(Majorana) neutrino masses and mixing angles which can reproduce
current data from neutrino oscillation experiments. Calculations
of neutrino masses and angles within BRpV are discussed in detail.
In these models the lightest supersymmetric particle is no longer
stable and decays on typical length scales small compared to
detector sizes. It is pointed out that neutrino physics fixes
certain decay patterns of the LSP and thus BRpV is testable
as the model of neutrino mass at future accelerators.

Several astrophysical and cosmological sources may produce high
energy neutrinos above the atmospheric background. These high energy
neutrinos are considered to have energies typically greater than tens of
thousands of GeV. The astrophysical sources of high energy neutrinos may
include, our galaxy as well as the (active) centers of nearby galaxies. The
cosmological sources include various types of relics such as topological
defects (possibly clustered in our galactic halo). I summarize the results
for high energy neutrino flux from the above different sources. Further, I
discuss in some detail the changes that will occur in this high energy
neutrino flux because of neutrino flavor mixing. I also discuss the near
future prospects for observation of these high energy neutrinos in large
under construction neutrino detectors.
