Abstract

In this Thesis, we discuss several aspects of flavor neutrino physics. From the standard picture of neutrino physics, we describe the present scenario of neutrino oscillations and explore many beyond standard oscillation scenarios that could be observed or tested in current and future experiments. In the phenomenological side, we worked with Non-standard neutrino interactions and Non-unitarity of the neutrino mixing matrix in long and short baseline experiments. In the theoretical side, we also analyzed specific models such as the Warped Flavor Symmetry and the Revamped A4, where we used the correlations among the atmospheric mixing angle and the CP-phase. We showed that it is possible to use also the correlation between the atmospheric and the reactor angle to model-independently constraint high energy neutrino mass models (AU)
