The field of neutrino physics is very active in particle physics. Indeed, a number of observed phenomena in high-energy physics and cosmology lack their resolution within the Standard Model of particle physics (SM). These puzzles include the origin of neutrino masses, CP-violation in the leptonic sector, baryon asymmetry of the Universe, and the elementary particle composition of Dark Matter. It is therefore normal that the CHIPP Roadmap places neutrino physics as one of the three pillars of particle physics. With the support of this SINERGIA, we propose to strengthen and formalize the Swiss neutrino group (CH-NUS) composed of the theoretical group in EPFL and the three experimental groups in ETHZ, UniBe and UniGe involved in the T2K experiment, and sharing common interest for future common neutrino physics programmes. The main goal of this request is to enhance the visibility of Switzerland in neutrino physics in the worldwide scenario through a coherent and coordinated action among researchers in the assembly and the physics exploitation of the T2K experiment and in a common definition of the future direction of neutrino physics in Switzerland with a concerted plan from experimental and theoretical groups involved.
