Summary:

"Written by the renowned Kai Zuber, the new edition of this pioneering work is updated with current research and experiments on neutrinos and their applications in particle physics and astrophysics. The author highlights the effects of neutrino masses for various fields within physics. He discusses experimental results in the context of theoretical models, as well as potential developments. Topics include neutrino cross sections, neutrino mass measurements, double beta decay, solar neutrinos, neutrinos from supernovae, high energy neutrinos in astrophysics, and neutrinos in cosmology. The new edition includes an extended section on neutrino factories and a new section on geoneutrinos"-- Provided by publisher.
