Beschreibung
This textbook offers an insightful and practical introduction to computer simulations of neutrino scattering, decay processes, and flavor oscillations, providing essential background on their computational aspects. Through hands-on coding guides and examples, it walks students through simulations of key neutrino processes while integrating relevant historical context. It also explains the fundamental steps involved in event generation for processes such as beta decay, solar neutrinos, and neutrino–nucleon scattering, as well as in the computation of neutrino flavor oscillations and more. The book emphasizes basic phase-space kinematics and the physics required to obtain final-state particle distributions. All examples are implemented using the widely adopted ROOT framework and the Gnu Scientific Library. This book serves as an essential computing tutorial for graduate students interested in neutrino physics.

“The topics covered are essential for any student of neutrino physics, and the material provides a clear, concise, step-by-step tutorial that develops both physical insight and practical skills. A student working through this book will gain a substantial understanding of the concepts behind neutrino-event generation and the computation of flavour-transformation effects. … I will recommend this book to my students and keep a copy on my own virtual shelf.” (Kate Scholberg, CERN Courier, cerncourier.com, July 23, 2026)
