Neutrinos play a decisive part in nuclear and elementary particle physics, as well as in astrophysics and cosmology. Because they interact so weakly with matter, some of their basic properties, such as mass charge conjugation symmetry, are largely unknown. These subjects are considered in detail by authors, who also discuss such topics as neutrino mixing, neutrino decay, neutrino oscillations, double beta decay and related ideas. Physical concepts are stressed, and both theoretical methods and experimental techniques are presented. This second edition contains an expanded coverage of new experimental results and recent theoretical advances. In the intervening years since the first edition, many then unresolved problems such as tritium beta decay and reactor neutrino oscillations have been clarified. This edition also gives expanded coverage of solar and supernova neutrinos.
Neutrinos play a decisive part in nuclear and elementary particle
physics, as well as in astrophysics and cosmology. Some of their
most basic properties, such as their mass and charge conjugation
symmetry, are largely unknown. This book focuses on what we know
and may hope to know about the mass of the neutrino and its
particle-antiparticle symmetry. Topics include neutrino mixing,
neutrino decay, neutrino oscillations, double beta decay, solar
neutrinos, supernova neutrinos and related issues. The authors
stress the physical concepts, and discuss both theoretical and
experimental techniques. This updated second edition differs from
the first in that it contains an expanded coverage of experimental
results and theoretical advances. Since publication of the first
edition, many issues that were at that time unresolved, such as
tritium beta decay and reactor neutrino oscillations, have been
clarified and are discussed here. Also included is an expanded
coverage of solar and supernova neutrinos. This book deals with one
of the most intriguing issues in modern physics, and will be of
value to researchers, graduate students and advanced undergraduates
specializing in experimental and theoretical particle physics and
nuclear physics.
