Description:
"This book discusses the fundamental concepts of neutrinos, their properties and interactions with matter. The text covers the field theory of neutrinos, necessary to understand the standard model (SM) of electroweak interactions. Applications of neutrino scattering processes from the nucleons and nuclei are discussed in detail. Nuclear-medium effects in quasielastic scattering, and inelastic and deep inelastic scattering are also covered in depth. A separate chapter on neutrinos in astrophysics highlights the applications of various neutrino processes in the understanding of the Universe and its evolution. The text will be useful for graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of particle physics and nuclear physics"--
