Abstract:

The compelling experimental evidences for oscillations of neutrinos imply the existence of 3-neutrino mixing in the charged current weak interaction Lagrangian. The phenomenology of 3-neutrino mixing, of the Dirac and Majorana CP violation in the lepton sector, as well as the current data on the 3-neutrino mixing parameters, will be briefly reviewed. The prospects of the searches for CP violation in neutrino oscillations will be considered. The leptogenesis scenario of generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe will be discussed in details with emphasis on the possibility that the CP violation necessary for having successful leptogenesis is exclusively due to the Dirac or Majorana CP violating phase(s) in the neutrino mixing matrix.
