Neutrino Astrophysics

Autor John N. Bahcall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 1989
This authoritative text provides a lively, thought-provoking and informative summary of neutrino astrophysics. Neutrino astronomy is being revolutionized by the availability of new observational facilities. Theoretical work in astrophysics and in particle physics in increasing rapidly. The subject of solar neutrinos has many seemingly independent aspects, both in its theoretical basis (involving nuclear, atomic, and particle physics, geochemistry, and astronomy). For many physicists, solar neutrinos constitute the low-energy frontier of high-energy physics. Results from all these disciplines are combined here, providing a timely and unified discussion of the field. Each chapter begins with a succinct overview of material to be presented and ends with an annotated bibliography. For advanced undergraduate students, but will be essential reading for all researchers interested in the physics of neutrinos and what they reveal about the nature of the Universe.

Recenzii

"The book provides a thorough and expert summary of a field of intense current interest." Nature
"This book should serve as the standard reference for this rapidly developing area of research for some time to come."--Physics Today
"...a very important book covering the observational, theoretical, and experimental aspects of neutrino astrophysics." Sky & Telescope
"...an outstanding book on an exciting, developing new field of astronomy." American Journal of Physics
"...this book will stand as a landmark account of what has become one of the most important experiments in physics, not just astronomy, during the second half of the 20th century." John Gribbin, New Scientist
"...an excellent book on neutrino astrophysics...Elementary particle theorists will find here a most valuable guide to theoretical developments. Experimenters will be delighted by the accurate, clear discussion of observations." Comments on Astrophysics
