Neutrinos in Particle Physics, Astronomy and Cosmology
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to neutrino
physics, neutrino astronomy and neutrino cosmology. The intrinsic
properties and fundamental interactions of neutrinos are described,
as is the phenomenology of lepton flavor mixing, seesaw mechanisms
and neutrino oscillations. The cosmic neutrino background, stellar
neutrinos, supernova neutrinos and ultrahigh-energy cosmic
neutrinos, together with the cosmological matter-antimatter
asymmetry and other roles of massive neutrinos in cosmology, are
discussed in detail. This book is intended for researchers and
graduate students in the fields of particle physics, particle
astrophysics and cosmology. Dr. Zhizhong Xing is a professor at the
Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
China; Dr. Shun Zhou is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Max
Planck Institute for Physics, Germany.
