OverviewThis book covers the currently most interesting aspects of neutrino physics written by leading experts of the field. The book starts with a history of neutrinos and then develops from the fundamentals to the direct determination of masses and lifetimes. The role of neutrinos in fundamental astrophysical problems is discussed in detail. The book gives an up-to-date overview of modern neutrino physics and is useful for scientists and graduate students alike. In addition there is a Addendum on the SNO Results covering the solar neutrinos detected at Sudbury Neutrino Observatory, important findings not to miss. Full Product DetailsAuthor: David O.
