Experimental Neutrino Physics
暫譯: 實驗性中微子物理學

中微子具有比任何已知粒子更小的質量，並且是近期研究的熱點主題，也是本書的主題。作者提供了一個連貫的介紹，涵蓋現代中微子物理學家所需的理論背景和實驗方法。本書旨在作為一個一站式參考，針對目前對中微子假說的了解、中微子的發現、弱相互作用理論、太陽中微子之謎以及中微子振盪的研究進行說明。接著，書中詳細介紹了研究精確振盪、中微子質量及其他中微子特性、無效中微子，以及來自太空和地球內部的中微子信使的實用方法。

Jonathan Link is a full tenured professor in the Physics Department at Virginia Tech and director and co-founder of Virginia Tech's Center for Neutrino Physics. He is the author of 130 published papers, and has given 85 invited conference talks, seminars and colloquia. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis in 2001 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University starting in 2001, before taking a tenure track position at Virginia Tech in 2006. Dr. Link first worked in experimental neutrino physics in 2001 as a member of the MiniBooNE collaboration. In 2003 he initiated a new reactor neutrino experimental effort with the intension of conducting the most sensitive search for the last neutrino mixing angle, θ13. This domestic US effort known as Braidwood was eventually passed over for support by the US DOE, which instead selected the less costly Chinese effort, Daya Bay. In 2006 he joined Daya Bay, and was awarded the DOE's Outstanding Junior Investigator Award for my proposed work on that project. In 2012, Daya Bay was the first to measure θ13, and he shared the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for his contribution to the Daya Bay project. Going forward, he is engaged in multiple concepts for future neutrino experiments. First, he is a member of the DUNE collaboration, which is a accelerator-based long baseline experiment, with the goal of measuring the CP violating phase in the neutrino mixing matrix, and determining the neutrino mass hierarchy. Second, he has become very interested in the ongoing question of the existence of light sterile neutrinos. In 2007, along with Raju Raghavan, he was the first to propose using a radioactive neutrino source, such as 51Cr, to search for sterile neutrinos using a detector designed for solar neutrino studies. In 2011, he co-organized a workshop know as Sterile Neutrinos at the Crossroads.

喬納森·林克（Jonathan Link）是維吉尼亞理工大學物理系的全職終身教授，也是維吉尼亞理工大學中微子物理中心的主任和共同創辦人。他已發表130篇論文，並在85場會議、研討會和座談會上擔任邀請講者。他於2001年在加州大學戴維斯分校獲得博士學位，並於2001年開始在哥倫比亞大學擔任博士後研究員，之後於2006年在維吉尼亞理工大學獲得終身教職。林克博士於2001年作為MiniBooNE合作組的一員首次從事實驗中微子物理研究。2003年，他啟動了一項新的反應堆中微子實驗，旨在進行對最後一個中微子混合角θ13的最敏感搜索。這項名為Braidwood的美國國內努力最終未獲得美國能源部的支持，該部選擇了成本較低的中國項目大亞灣（Daya Bay）。2006年，他加入了大亞灣，並因其在該項目上的提案工作獲得了能源部的傑出青年研究員獎。2012年，大亞灣首次測量了θ13，他因對大亞灣項目的貢獻而分享了2016年基礎物理突破獎。展望未來，他參與多個未來中微子實驗的概念。首先，他是DUNE合作組的成員，這是一個基於加速器的長基線實驗，目標是測量中微子混合矩陣中的CP違反相位，並確定中微子質量層次。其次，他對輕型無活動中微子的存在問題非常感興趣。2007年，他與拉朱·拉哈萬（Raju Raghavan）一起首次提出使用放射性中微子源（如51Cr）來搜索無活動中微子，並使用為太陽中微子研究設計的探測器。2011年，他共同組織了一個名為「無活動中微子在十字路口」的研討會。
