Boehm, F; Boehm, P V

The study of the neutrino has emerged as important in the elucidation of weak interactions, and possibly, for future theoretical descriptions of the physics of elementary particles. The authors aim to offer a unified picture of the physics of neutrinos as it is now understood from studies of nuclear physics, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. Focus is on the neutrino's mass and particle-anti-particle symmetry. Because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter, their basic properties are not well known, and the authors offer a framework for discussion. Physical aspects are stressed with an interlacing of theoretical and experimental considerations.
