neutrino oscillation

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
neutrino oscillation [nü¦trē·nō ‚äs·ə′lā·shən]
(particle physics)
A phenomenon in which a neutrino in one of the three known flavor states (electron neutrino, mu neutrino, or tau neutrino) becomes a mixture of flavor states that changes back and forth periodically as the neutrino travels through space; it will occur if neutrinos have mass and if each flavor state is a mixture of different mass states.

bring together 15 lectures by scientists from the US, Europe, and Japan who discuss the basic experimental data and future prospects for experiments on neutrino oscillations, neutrino interactions and the measurement of properties, the standard model of particles and their interactions, other models of the solar energy cycle and big-band cosmology, the impact of neutrinos on astrophysical phenomena, and the origins of neutrino masses and possible role in the baryon asymmetry of the universe.
