Abstract

Particle physics finds itself in an extremely interesting moment. On the one hand, recent data on neutrinos are providing a lot of information on these particles. On the other hand, CERN's Large Hadron Collider which should come into operation in 2007, offers the prospect of answering several open questions. Our project is to continue in our traditional line of phenomenology with the study of neutrinos, extensions of the standard model and ring collision physics. (AU)
