Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neutrino oscillation is an intriguing phenomenon that evidently indicates there are new physics beyond the Standard Model. It arises from the mixing between the flavor and mass eigenstates of neutrinos and introduces at least six new parameters to our model of particle physics. Luckily, it’s an effect that be manipulated in our laboratories. There have been tremendous efforts invested in the global community to probe neutrino oscillations by using various neutrino sources and detection technologies. These experiments have narrowed down the allowed ranges of neutrino mass splittings and mixing angles. However, many questions remain unanswered and require further exploration of the unknown space. Do neutrinos follow a normal ordering or an inverted ordering? Do neutrino masses and mixing have new symmetries? Do neutrino oscillations violate charge-parity? To address these problems, precision measurement becomes a requirement. It demands larger and more precise detectors, and deeper understanding of the production and detection mechanisms of neutrinos. This special issue is dedicated to discussing the status and prospects of current and future neutrino oscillation searches, as well as the implications to particle physics, astronomy, cosmology, et al.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
