Overview

This book provides a comprehensive overview of our present understanding of neutrino mass in unified gauge theories, its phenomenological and cosmological implications. It is divided into four parts. The first part presents a model independent discussion of the properties of the neutrino and nature of the neutrino masses. Part 2 deals with neutrino masses in unified and grand unified theories. In Part 3, phenomenological implications of neutrino mass is discussed. This includes neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double beta decay and electromagnetic properties of neutrinos. Part 4 considers the solar neutrino puzzle, SN1987A and cosmological constraints on the neutrino properties.

Reviews

The book constitutes both an excellent introduction for postgraduate students who possess at least a basic understanding of the standard model of particle physics and a useful reference text for more advanced research workers in elementary particle theory. It is strongly recommended to all who are interested in this fascinating and rapidly developing field of physics. P D B Collins J. Phys. G: Nucl. Part. Phys., 1992
