    NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS
    Present Status and Future Plans

    edited by Jennifer A Thomas (University College London, UK) & Patricia L Vahle (University College London, UK)

    Table of Contents (81k)
    Preface (72k)
    Chapter 1: Neutrino Oscillation Phenomenology (677k)

    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.
