Hardbound. In cosmology the neutrinos determine the expansion rate of the early universe. They probably constitute part of hot dark matter and are essential for supernova explosions. In spite of great efforts, the missing solar neutrinos are not completely understood. Various solar neutrino experiments seem to give different results about the missing solar neutrinos. However each of these experiments, such as the C1 detector, GALLEX, SAGE and KAMIOKANDE, measure slightly different quantities. Only GALLEX and SAGE look exactly for the same neutrinos and seem to be in agreement with each other. This volume of review articles looks in depth at the latest research results and presents a state-of-art view of this fast exanding field. All the chapters are written by leading experts active in the field today.
