This book presents peer-reviewed articles from the International Conference on Future Prospects in Neutrino and Astroparticle Physics (ICFPNAP 2024), held on Jan 23–24 at Assam Don Bosco University, Assam, India. It highlights recent breakthroughs in neutrino and astroparticle physics as well as its future prospects. Neutrino physics is currently one of the most fascinating fields of study, and it is expected that future generations of long and short-baseline neutrino experiments will be able to resolve many important issues such as CP violation, neutrino mass hierarchy, octant degeneracy, the existence of sterile neutrinos, and so on. The discovery of neutrino oscillations has already shown that neutrinos are massive and that we must look beyond the Standard Model (BSM). Many well-motivated BSM frameworks exist to explain the nonzero but tiny neutrino mass, such as the seesaw mechanism, which involves the addition of heavy fermions in the theory. The detection of a lepton number violating process in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments could be a probe for Majorana neutrinos, as anticipated by the seesaw mechanism. This book emphasizes neutrino physics in general, as well as its connections to dark matter, astrophysics, and cosmology.

Launched in 2013, Frontiers in Physics consists of 18 specialties covering all areas of research in physics. With over 500 published manuscripts, the journal is now indexed in SCIE with the first impact factor coming in 2019. Frontiers in Physics aims to become the largest and most cited open access multidisciplinary physics journal. This eBook collects what the Specialty Chief Editors of the journal believed were the most interesting manuscripts published over the past two years. It is a nice collection, which will offer the reader the chance to have a quick overview of the specialties of the journal and offer a glimpse into the state of the art of physics. We must confess that it has been quite challenging to select only one article per specialty section given the many important manuscripts published by the journal in 2017 and 2018. We invite our reader to have a look at the journal homepage and browse what we have published so far. It includes articles on topics very different from each other, written by both early career scientists and well-known researchers, ranging from the indisputable advance of the field to the more bold. We hope you enjoy reading our first edition of the Frontiers in Physics Editor's Choice eBook! Professor Alex Hansen (Field Chief Editor) and Dr Claudio Bogazzi (Journal Manager)
