This book aims to provide a survey of the current state of research in the physics of neutrinos, which has undergone dramatic development during the last decade, in a form accessible to the nonspecialist and the graduate stu- dent.
Once you have looked at the night sky on a moonless night it is not hard to realise why so much of our science and religion has its roots in the stars.
The Fourth HEIDELBERG International Conference on Dark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics, DARK2002, was held in Cape Town, South Africa, in the period 4-9 February 2002.
Most scientists in the middle of the twentieth century would probably not have believed that life was possible at extreme values of environmental factors, such as pH values close to 0 (e.
