Scientific paper

In the first lecture, aspects of neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model are emphasized, including the emerging default options for atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, namely νμ-->ντ and νe-->νμ,τ respectively, and the need to check them, the prospects opened up by the successful starts of SNO and K2K and the opportunities for future long-baseline neutrino experiments. In the second lecture, it is discussed how cosmic rays may provide opportunities for probing fundamental physics. For example, ultra-high-energy cosmic rays might originate from the decays of metastable heavy particles, and astrophysical γ rays can be used to test models of quantum gravity. Both scenarios offer ways to avoid the GZK cut-off, and might best be probed using high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. .
