Description
In 1956 Reines and Cowan observed for the first time the interaction of (anti)neutrinos from a reactor. Since then, both reactors and accelerators have been exploited as neutrino sources in experiments identifying their three flavors and corroborating the evidence for oscillations coming from solar and atmospheric neutrinos. A review of the main experimental techniques will be presented, together with the current status and prospects on neutrino mixing parameters.
