Description

Neutrinos stand out among elementary particles with their unique nature, yet had been left in obscurity for a long time. Now, researchers are spending enormous efforts to uncover the secret of neutrinos. In this review, attributes of neutrinos and weak interaction are explained. The significance of neutrino study, detectors and historical perspectives are also mentioned. (author)
