Beschreibung
Neutrino oscillation (N.O.) is the only firm evidence of the physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics and is one of the hottest topics in elementary particle physics today. This book focuses on the N.O., from its history to the future prospects, from the basic theories to the experiments.
Various phenomena of N.O. are described intuitively with thorough explanations of the fundamental physics behind well-known formulations. For example, while many textbooks start with a discussion of the mixing matrix, this book stresses that N.O. is caused by the transition amplitudes between different neutrino flavors, and that the purpose of N.O. experiments is to measure transition amplitudes and think of its origin. The current understanding of neutrino oscillation is also summarized using the most up-to-date measurements, including the recently measured neutrino mixing angle θ13, and the future prospects of N.O. studies are described as well.
The levelof this book makes it a bridge between introductory textbooks and scientific papers.

“This is a detailed and up-to-date textbook on neutrino oscillations. … The textbook contains all of the information that anybody interested in neutrino oscillations would like to know. Physicists involved in neutrino experiments should each have a copy in their private libraries.” (Luigi Di Lella, CERN Courier, cerncourier.com, August, 2016)

“This book differs from other textbooks on neutrino physics ... .One of its unique features is that the author uses basic quantum physics to explain the neutrino-oscillation phenomena in terms of ‘transition amplitudes’ between two states. In addition, it reviews the experimental results, which over the last two decades have quickly led to the establishment of the three-flavor oscillation picture. It also summarizes the current status, and discusses the outlook for future developments. This book is highly recommended, not only to graduate students who are interested in neutrino physics, but also to experienced physicists to have on the shelf as a handy reference source.” (Professor Masahiro Kuze, Department of Physics, Tokyo Institute of Technology)
