Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald have been jointly awarded the
2015 Nobel Prize in Physics 'for the discovery of neutrino
oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass'. Takaaki Kajita
is a Japanese physicist who is well known for neutrino experiments
at the Kamiokande and the even more outsized Super-Kamiokande.This
volume of collected works of Kajita on neutrino oscillations
provides a good glimpse into the rise of Asian research in the
frontiers of neutrino physics. Japan is now a major force in the
study of the three families of neutrinos. Much remains to be done
to clarify the Dirac vs. Majorana nature of the neutrino, and the
cosmological implications of the neutrino. The collected works of
Kajita and his Super-Kamiokande group will leave an indelible
footprint in the history of big and better science.Copyright of the
