This is currently the only firmly establishe d experimental evidence in particle physics for physics beyond the Standar d Model. It motivates several fundamental questions: whether neutrinos are Majorana particles\, how their tiny masses are generated\, and whether ne utrino non-standard interactions exist. Among Standard Model fermions\, on ly neutrinos can potentially be their own antiparticles. Their Majorana na ture is closely connected to lepton number violation\, CP violation\, and possible clues to the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. On the other hand\, generating neutrino masses usually requires new particles bey ond the Standard Model. For example\, in the type-II seesaw mechanism\, an electroweak scalar triplet Higgs field generates Majorana neutrino masses \, while the introduction of new particles can also lead to non-standard i nteractions. This talk will focus on the Majorana nature of neutrinos and non-standard interactions\, using the type-II seesaw mechanism and a Z' mo del as two illustrative examples.\n \nBio:\n Ming-Wei Li received his Ph. D. from the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, and his bachelor’s degree from Cuiying Honors College\, Lanzhou University. His research interests include neutrino physics\, particle physics phenome nology\, and new physics models. During his Ph.D. studies\, he worked on n eutrino non-standard interactions\, neutrino-antineutrino oscillations\, l epton number violation\, and the muon anomalous magnetic moment. His work has been published in journals including Physics Letters B and Journal of High Energy Physics. He was selected for the Tsung-Dao Lee PhD Program at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and served as the principal investigator of an NSFC Basic Research Program for Young Students (PhD students) project.\ n\nhttps://indico.impcas.ac.cn/event/198/ LOCATION:1A804 URL:https://indico.impcas.ac.cn/event/198/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
