This volume offers a valuable insight into various aspects of the
ongoing work directed at measuring neutrino mass. It took twenty
years to refute the assertions of Bethe and Peierls that neutrinos
were not observable, but it has since been realized that much can
be learnt from these particles. The moral is, as Fiorini argues
here, that the study of neutrinos was and remains demanding but
rewarding. Subjects addressed in this volume include clarifying the
meaning of the Klapdor-Kleingrothaus results, probing the Majorana
nature of neutrinos, observing lepton number violating effects for
the first time, studying the end point of the spectrum in the
search for neutrino masses and speculating whether it is possible
to measure neutrino masses in cosmology. Lectures are enriched with
rich historical overviews and valuable introductory material.
Attention is also given to theoretical topics such as the evolution
of the concept of mass in particle physics, a status report on
neutrino oscillations and current discussion on neutrino masses.
The reader is further reminded that neutrino masses may also have
some bearing on the very origin of the matter among us, and have
many deep links with other important lines of current physics
research.
