Neutrinos play a decisive part in nuclear and elementary particle physics, as well as in astrophysics and cosmology. Some of their most basic properties, such as their mass and charge conjugation symmetry, are largely unknown. This book focuses on what we know and may hope to know about the mass of the neutrino and its particle-antiparticle symmetry. Topics include neutrino mixing, neutrino decay, neutrino oscillations, double beta decay, solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos and related issues. The authors stress the physical concepts, and discuss both theoretical and experimental techniques. This updated second edition differs from the first in that it contains an expanded coverage of experimental results and theoretical advances. Since publication of the first edition, many issues that were at that time unresolved, such as tritium beta decay and reactor neutrino oscillations, have been clarified and are discussed here. Also included is an expanded coverage of solar and supernova neutrinos. This book deals with one of the most intriguing issues in modern physics, and will be of value to researchers, graduate students and advanced undergraduates specializing in experimental and theoretical particle physics and nuclear physics.

"In this compilation, the authors first investigate the potential use of mineral lorandite from Allchar to estimate the Sun's age. A brief history of the discovery of neutrinos is provided, focusing on properties such as electrical charge, mass, and sources. A brief introduction to neutrinos in the standard model of particle physics is also provided, followed by neutrino oscillations both in vacuum and in matter. Special experiments involving neutrino beams generated by accelerators are planned to study the properties of neutrinos on long baselines. Lastly, within the context of a U(1)B-L minimal model, the authors discuss the effects of the anomalous magnetic moment and electric dipole moment of the tau-neutrino on stellar energy loss rates through the process of pair-annihilation"--

What are neutrinos? Why does nature need them? What use are they?Neutrinos are perhaps the most enigmatic particles in the universe. Formed in certain radioactive decays, they pass through most matter with ease. These tiny, ghostly particles are formed in millions in the Sun and pass through us constantly. For a long time they were thought to be massless, and passing as they do like ghosts they were not regarded as significant. Now we know they have a very small mass, and there are strong indications that they are very important indeed. It is speculated thata heavy form of neutrino, that is bo
