Neutrinos in Physics and Astrophysics

Journal: Physics Today • • AIP Publishing • ISSN: 0031-9228

Abstract

This work provides an overview of the subject of neutrino physics that will be of value to both the serious graduate student and the professional physicist. The authors focus on topics vital to the understanding of the intrinsic properties of neutrinos, which are presented in terms of recent developments in the field and their applications to astrophysics. In a format that integrates neutrino physics and astrophysics data and theory, the authors analyze the predictions generated by various theories and compare those predictions with experimental results. Emphasis is placed on the solar neutrino problem, one of the most exciting areas of physics today. The book also features extensive pedagogical and formal treatments of neutrino oscillations in both vacuum and matter.
