Fukugita M., Suzuki A. (Eds.) Physics and Astrophysics of Neutrinos

Springer, Japan, 1994. — 947 p. — ISBN: 4431670319Observations of neutrinos being emitted by the supernova SN1987A, star neutrinos, and atmospheric neutrinos have provided new insights into astronomy, as well as new unresolved phenomena such as the solar neutrino problem, spurring investigative studies among particle physicists and astrophysicists. One of the most important features of this book is its enumeration of a number of basic properties of neutrinos and their relationship to Grand Unified Theories, focusing on the origin of the neutrino's mass and the generation mixing of neutrinos. All the kamiokande results, detector performances, and complete references are included.Physics of NeutrinosStandard theory of the weak interaction and properties of the neutrinos
