xviii, 448 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. "Only six years have passed but neutrino physics kept its pace. New major discoveries make a second edition a timely and necessary. The solar neutrino problem has basically been solved, first real time measurement of solar neutrinos below 1 MeV, the first discovery of geoneutrinos, the start of new long baseline accelerator experiments and many more developments had to be included. To avoid a complete rewriting of the book the intension was to keep the original text as much as possible and implement the new results in a smooth way"-- specialized Kai Zuber "Written by the renowned Kai Zuber, the new edition of this pioneering work is updated with current research and experiments on neutrinos and their applications in particle physics and astrophysics. The author highlights the effects of neutrino masses for various fields within physics. He discusses experimental results in the context of theoretical models, as well as potential developments. Topics include neutrino cross sections, neutrino mass measurements, double beta decay, solar neutrinos, neutrinos from supernovae, high energy neutrinos in astrophysics, and neutrinos in cosmology. The new edition includes an extended section on neutrino factories and a new section on geoneutrinos"-- Provided by publisher Includes bibliographical references (p. 411-441) and index Neutrinos 9781420064711 1420064711 UMP 111212 20251125092959.0 vtls000057066
