Neutrino Oscillations: Status and Prospects — •Alfons Weber — University of Oxford, Oxford, UK — UKRI/STFC Rutherford Appelton Laboratory, Didcot, UK

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2015 was awarded to Kajita and McDonald "for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass." It was the recognition of important work and the solution to the so-call atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies, which puzzled physicists for a decade. We have now moved on and start to develop a good understanding of the neutrino flavour sector. Diverse experiments studying neutrinos from the sun, reactors, cosmic rays and accelerators have given us insight of the mass and flavour structure of neutrinos. This presentation will summarise the current state of the field and highlight what we stil do not know and future experiments that will lead the area of precision neutrino physics and shed light on the question, whether the CP symmetry is violated in the neutrino sector.
