Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neutrino physics is an active subject of study, currently analyzed not only in particle physics, but also in cosmology, astrophysics and nuclear physics. Since the discovery of the neutrino oscillation, which implies non-zero masses of at least two neutrino flavors, numerous advances have been achieved. Perhaps one of the most challenging problems in neutrino physics is its small mass. Beyond the mass puzzle, the determination of whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles remains one of the key unanswered questions in particle physics. In addition, it is crucial to understand CP violation in the lepton sector, which has implications for the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Moreover, neutrino physics is essential to understand several nuclear and astrophysical phenomena. We kindly extend an invitation to participate in this Special Issue of Symmetry, in the spirit of a broad discussion of the topic. Particular areas of interests are as follows.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
