Titre(s) : The neutrino story [Texte électronique] : one tiny particle's grand role in the cosmos / Rabindra N. Mohapatra
Publication : Cham : Springer, copyright 2021
Description matérielle : 1 ressource dématérialisée
Note(s) : Every second of every day, we are exposed to billions of neutrinos emitted by the
Sun, and yet they seem to pass straight through us with no apparent effect at all.
Tiny and weakly interacting this subatomic particle may be, but this book will show
you just how crucial a role it has played in the evolution of the elements in the
universe, and eventually, ourselves. We first start with an introduction to the basics
of subatomic physics, including brief backgrounds on the discoveries that set the
stage for major 20th century advances. The author, a distinguished theoretical physicist
who has researched neutrinos for over thirty years, next explains in nontechnical
language how and why the neutrino fits into the wider story of elementary particles.
Finally, the reader will learn about the latest discoveries in the past half century
of neutrino studies. This semi-popular science book will appeal to any physics students
or non-specialist physicists who wish to know more about the neutrino and its role
in the evolution of our universe
