Massive Neutrinos: Flavor Mixing Of Leptons And Neutrino OscillationsAuthor(s): Harald Fritzsch\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd, Singapore\nImprint: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd\nISBN-13: 9789814704762, 978-9814704762\nSynopsis\nSince the discovery of neutrino oscillations neutrino physics has become an interesting field of research in physics. They imply that neutrino must have a small mass and that the neutrinos, coupled to the charged leptons, are mixtures of the mass eigenstates, analogous to the flavor mixing of the quarks. The mixing angles for the quarks are small, but for the leptons two of the mixing angles are large. The masses of the three neutrinos must be very small, less than 1 eV, but from the oscillation experiments we only know the mass differences the absolute masses are still unknown. Also we do not know, if the masses of the neutrinos are Dirac masses, as the masses of the charged leptons and of the quarks, or whethe.
