Neutrinos are the mo st elusive known elementary particles\; they fly through all of us in vast numbers but are extremely difficult to detect. Immense progress has been made in analyzing their properties over the last decades\, culminating in the surprising discovery of neutrino flavor oscillations. These neutrino o scillations imply that neutrinos have tiny but nonzero masses\, which prov ides strong evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle phy sics. With the increasing precision in neutrino measurements it has even b ecome possible to use neutrinos as a tool to probe for further new physics \, e.g. by studying how neutrinos scatter off electrons. In addition\, neu trinos could prove uniquely helpful in the search for dark matter and prov ide complementary information to standard indirect detection signatures. span>
