TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the left-handed neutrinos receive masses of order 1eV, which is consistent with recent experiments on neutrino oscillations.
Abstract
Assuming a horizontal symmetry SU_F(n), we demonstrate a possibility that the left-handed neutrinos receive masses of order 1eV, which is consistent with recent experiments on neutrino oscillations. The smallness of the neutrino masses is an indication of a large breaking of the horizontal symmetry.

Discrete Flavor Symmetries and Models of Neutrino Mixing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the application of non abelian discrete groups to the theory of neutrino masses and mixing, which is strongly suggested by the agreement of the TriBimaximal (TB) mixing pattern with experiment.

Cosmic rays and particle physics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for accelerating a particle to >100 TeV using cosmic rays and neutrino-induced muons, which they call cosmic ray showers.

The νMSM, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the extension of the standard model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the νMSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe and be consistent with the experiments on neutrino oscillations.

A facility to search for hidden particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case.

Sergey Alekhin, +95 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the SHiP experiment has a unique potential to discover new physics and can directly probe a number of solutions of beyond the standard model puzzles, such as neutrino masses, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, and inflation.

The Search for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in the presence of Majorana neutrinos in the mass range of ∼ 100 MeV to 5 GeV, the rates for these processes would be enhanced due to their resonant contribution.
