The Physics of Massive Neutrinos

Download or read book The Physics of Massive Neutrinos written by Boris Kayser and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1989 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains the physics and phenomenology of massive neutrinos. The authors argue that neutrino mass is not unlikely and consider briefly the search for evidence of this mass in decay processes before they examine the physics and phenomenology of neutrino oscillation. The physics of Majorana neutrinos (neutrinos which are their own antiparticles) is then discussed. This volume requires of the reader only a knowledge of quantum mechanics and of very elementary quantum field theory.
