Neutrino magnetic moment.The description of particle structure on the basis of the Standard Model, along with recent discoveries concerning neutrino properties, provides us with a comprehensive picture of the properties of subatomic particles. This book provides an overview of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, including an overview of the discovery and properties of the Higgs boson. It also summarizes the important investigations into the physics of neutrinos and provides an overview of the interpretation of these studies.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Richard A Dunlap received a BS in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, an AM in Physics from Dartmouth College, and a PhD in Physics from Clark University. Since receiving his PhD he has been a faculty member of the Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Dalhousie University, where he is currently a Research Professor. He is author of four previous books; Experimental Physics: Modern Methods, The Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Numbers, An Introduction to the Physics of Nuclei and Particles, and Sustainable Energy.Title from PDF title page (viewed on January 16, 2019).
