Physics of Neutrinos

The only book that treats most recent aspects of neutrino physics at the same time presenting the theory in detail and using applications in nuclear and particle physics and astrophysics as a guiding principle.

This book provides a survey of the current state of research into the physics of neutrinos. The reader finds here a global view of the areas of physics in which neutrinos play important roles, including astrophysics and cosmology. Prime emphasis is given to the mass of neutrinos and its implications.
