Abstract

This article reviews our present understanding of neutrino properties with a particular emphasis on observable differences between Majorana and Dirac neutrinos. We summarize current and future experimental efforts toward measuring neutrino properties and describe consequences of the Majorana versus Dirac nature of neutrinos on neutrino masses, neutrino decays, and neutrino electromagnetic properties.
