Know the formalism of Dirac, Marjoran and Dirac-Marjoran mechanism for describing massive neutrinos in field theory. Know the concepts of active and sterile neutrinos. Know the laws of conservation of the lepton number and the cases when they are violated. Know the concept of mass and aromatic bases of neutrino states, mixing matrix and its parameterization. Know the current values ​​of the parameters of the mixing matrix of active neutrinos and restrictions on their masses. Know the extension of the Standard model in the neutrino sector, the νMSM model. Apply theoretical material for practical calculations of neutrino oscillations in vacuum, beta decay, double neutrino-free beta decay. Modify the Standard Model to introduce a mass of active neutrinos.
