Takaaki Kajita from Japan and Arthur B. McDonald from Canada shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, "for the discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neu- trinos have mass". Neutrinos are elementary panicles with zero mass in the Standard Model of particle physics. In 1998, Takaaki Kajita, on behalf of the Super-Kamiokande collaboration, showed a smoking gun evidence of neutrino oscillation with atmospheric neutrinos [1]. In 2001 and 2002, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) collabo- ration led by Arthur B. McDonald published results showing the solar neutrino oscillation [2, 3]. These two discoveries revealed that neutrinos have mass, which is beyond our understanding of the universe, and thus opened a door to the new physics.
