NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS - FUMIHIKO SUEKANE GEBUNDEN

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 th13  and the future prospects of N.O.
studies are described as well. The level of this book makes it a bridge between introductory
textbooks and scientific papers.
