Physics Beyond the Desert

Abstract

I review the observational status of neutrino physics, including the present hints for neutrino mass and the ways to reconcile the solar and atmospheric neutrino data with the existence of a hot dark matter component, and the possible hints from LSND. I also briefly discuss the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the Standard Model (SM), focussing on supersymmetric models with broken R-parity and spontaneously broken lepton number. I discuss some of the signals expected at future accelerators such as LEP II and LHC. They serve to illustrate how neutrino mass effects may be testable not only at underground and nuclear physics installations but also at high energy collider experiments.
