Abstract
This article reviews our present understanding of neutrino properties with a particular emphasis on observable differences between Majorana and Dirac neutrinos. We summarize current and future experimental efforts toward measuring neutrino properties and describe consequences of the Majorana versus Dirac nature of neutrinos on neutrino masses, neutrino decays, and neutrino electromagnetic properties.
Highlights
The purpose of this article is to explore our current understanding of the properties of neutrinos
The free field of a Majorana neutrino is identical to its charge conjugate, apart from a possible phase factor
Neutrino oscillation experiments at different baselines have firmly established that the neutrino flavor states that are produced by the weak interactions are combinations of mass eigenstates; that is
