Özet:
This book reviews the status of a very exciting field - neutrino oscillations - at a very important time. The fact that neutrinos have mass has only been proved in the last few years and the acceptance of that fact has opened up a whole new area of study to understand the fundamental parameters of the mixing matrix. The book summarizes the results from all the experiments which have played a role in the measurement of neutrino oscillations and briefly describes the scope of some new planned experiments. Contributions include a theoretical introduction by Stephen Parke from FNAL, as well as articles from all the major experimental groups who have been pivotal in uncovering the nature of the neutrino mass. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Neutrino Oscillation Phenomenology (677 KB). Contents: Neutrino Oscillation Phenomenology (S J Parke); The Super-Kamiokande Experiment (C W Walter); Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (S J M Peeters & J R Wilson); Neutrino Oscillation Physics with KamLAND: Reactor Antineutrinos and Beyond (K M Heeger); K2K: KEK to Kamioka Long-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiment (R J Wilkes); MINOS (P Vahle); The LSND and KARMEN Neutrino Oscillation Experiments (W C Louis); MiniBooNE (S J Brice); The OPERA Experiment in the CNGS Beam (D Autiero et al.); The T2K Experiment (D L Wark); The NOνA Experiment (G J Feldman); Double Chooz (G A Horton-Smith & T Lasserre); Daya Bay: A Sensitive Determination of θ 13 with Reactor Antineutrinos (K B Luk & Y Wang). Readership: Physicists, researchers and graduate students in high energy/nuclear and particle physics.
