Release NotesThis book deals with neutrino physics and astrophysics- a field in which some of
the most exciting recent developments in particle physics, astrophysics and
cosmology took place. The book is the most up-to-date, comprehensive and
self-contained treatment of key issues in neutrino physics. It discusses all the
topics vital to the understanding of the nature of neutrinos such as what they
are, how to describe them, how they behave in nature, and the roles of neutrinos
play in shaping our Universe. The book provides comprehensive discussions, both
experimental and theoretical, with relevant mathematical details, on neutrino
oscillations, extra-terrestrial as well as terrestrial neutrinos and relic
neutrinos. It also discusses many implications of current experimental data on
rector, accelerator, atmospheric, solar and supernova neutrinos with future
perspectives. The book starts with an introduction to field theory and gauge
theory which is accessible even to advanced undergraduate students, with helpful
appendices, and it also provides pedagogical but sufficiently detailed reviews
of supernova physics and cosmology, in particular the Cosmic Microwave
Background Radiation. It aims to provide all the technical details necessary for
the professionals in the field and to be an almost exhaustive reference for
neutrino physicists with 1000 references.
