Abstract
Résumé

After an historical introduction showing how our understanding of neutrino properties has improved over time, we focus on the phenomenon of flavor oscillations. The formalism is detailed, first for two neutrino families, then for three; matter effects are explained. We finally give an overview of the present experimental status on oscillations, and indicate the future prospects.

Après une introduction historique montrant comment notre compréhension des propriétés des neutrinos s'est affinée au cours du temps, nous nous intéressons au phénomène des oscillations de saveur. Le formalisme est expliqué, dans le cas de 2 puis de 3 saveurs, les effets de matière sont décrits, puis la situation expérimentale actuelle et les perspectives futures esquissées.
