Reader reviews for Are There Really Neutrinos?: An Evidential History

From the publisher

In this intriguing and accessible book, physicist Allan Franklin examines they experiments on neutrino oscillations. He argues that this history gives us good reason to believe in the existence of neutrinos, a particle that interacts so weakly with matter that its interaction length is measured in light years of lead. Only recently, the scientific process has provided evidence of the elusive neutrino. Written in a style accessible to any reader with a college education in physics, Are There Really Neutrinos? is of interest to students and researchers alike.

First line

Radioactivity, the spontaneous transformation of one element into another, produces particles (positively charged helium nuclei), or particles (electrons), or rays (high-energy electromagnetic radiation).
