Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the discovery of neutrino oscillations in 1998, the study of neutrinos has become, alongside the high energy frontier at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the search for particle dark matter, one of the three pillars of experimental particle physics. The low-hanging fruit of the three neutrino PMNS mixing matrix has, by now, all been harvested. To varying precisions, we know the values of the three mixing angles and two mass-squared difference scales, but subtler points remain unknown. These include many with profound implications, such as CP violation in neutrino mixing, the absolute neutrino mass scale, the nature of neutrino antimatter, and the number of neutrino flavors. Future progress in neutrino physics is dependent on continued innovation in detector technology, which is why we believe that now is a good time to take stock of our technologies: what is the current state-of-the-art, and where are we going? Do we have the technology we need to address these big questions, or is further innovation required?
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect timely contributions outlining recent advances on neutrino physics. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, the following aspects:
Particle Physics
Neutrinos
Neutrino Detectors
Neutrino Oscillation
Reactor Neutrinos
Solar Neutrino
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
Accelerator Neutrinos
Geo-neutrinos
Liquid Argon TPC
Scintillator

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. Instruments is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
