Testing Electroweak Theory and Short Baseline Anomalies With Neutrinos.

Abstract

Reading through this book, the reader will learn the extraordinary history of one of the fundamental particles that make up our universe: the neutrino. The readers will understand how the theoretical and experimental study of the interactions of neutrinos with the matter has been of great importance in establishing the electroweak theory, which describes the electromagnetic force and the weak force, and understand the properties of neutrinos. Once we have established the foundations of the Electroweak Standard Model, we will continue studying neutrino-electron scattering at low energies. This inquiry will allow us to investigate one of the fundamental parameters of the Electroweak Standard Model, the weak mixing angle.
