Neutrinos play a decisive part in nuclear and elementary particle
physics, as well as in astrophysics and cosmology. Because they
interact so weakly with matter, some of their basic properties,
such as mass charge conjugation symmetry, are largely unknown.
These subjects are considered in detail by authors, who also
discuss such topics as neutrino mixing, neutrino decay, neutrino
oscillations, double beta decay and related ideas. Physical
concepts are stressed, and both theoretical methods and
experimental techniques are presented. This second edition contains
an expanded coverage of new experimental results and recent
theoretical advances. In the intervening years since the first
edition, many then unresolved problems such as tritium beta decay
and reactor neutrino oscillations have been clarified. This edition
also gives expanded coverage of solar and supernova neutrinos.
