Undeniably, today Neutrino Physics has
become an important and emerging new field of intense research in Physics
around the globe. The accolades received by the Neutrino Physicists speak
volume about it.
Besides, numerous other prizes, there have been four Nobel
Prizes to its credit. The latest being the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics to
Professor TakaakiKajita and Professor Arthur B. Mcdonald for discovery of
neutrino oscillations. This important breakthrough discovery which was first
declared by Super-KamioKande at the Takayama Conference-NEUTRINO’98, can be
termed as the watershed moment in the history of neutrino physics. With this
discovery the study of neutrino physics has established a firm foundation.
And matter-antimatter asymmetry of the
universe is one of the open problems in cosmology. Thus, connecting a
low-energy to a high-energy physics is an issue of both particle physicists and
cosmologists.
Good number of books on neutrino physics
have been written, but not on baryogenesis. And importantly, complete detailed
books connecting these two beautiful subjects are yet to be written. The
present book though not a complete detailed book is a modest attempt in that
direction. The book attempts to find out the above unknown properties of
neutrinos and study its implications to cosmology.
