Massive neutrinos

Description

Neutrinos have intrigues physicists for over 60 years, yet it still is not determined if they possess a mass. Spontaneous oscillations between the various types of neutrinos, in analogy with the observed flavour oscillations between quarks, would be irrefutable evidence for non-zero neutrino mass. A group of experimental physicists from Australia has joined a new experiment to search for neutrino oscillations and this article reviews the importance of searching for such phenomena. 4 refs., 4 figs
