Sommario/riassunto

The recent groundbreaking discovery of nonzero neutrino masses andoscillations has put the spotlight on massive neutrinos as one of thekey windows on physics beyond the standard model as well as into theearly universe. This third edition of the invaluable book MassiveNeutrinos in Physics and Astrophysics is an introduction to thevarious issues related to the theory and phenomenology of massiveneutrinos for the nonexpert, providing at the same time a complete andup-to-date discussion on the latest results in the field for



theactive researcher. It is designed not merely to be a guide but also as
