✦ Synopsis

Session III of NOW 2008 ("Dodecahedron") has been devoted to a theoretical and experimental review of neutrino oscillation physics at energy scales of O(1) GeV. Historically, this scale provided the first strong proof of the existence of the oscillation phenomenon through the celebrated zenith angle distributions of atmospheric neutrino events observed in Super-Kamiokande. Nowadays, it is also the scale exploited in long-baseline experiments and will likely play a leading role in the next generation facilities designed to precisely measure the neutrino mixing matrix and study CP violation in the leptonic sector.
