The electron neutrino ( ν e) is an elementary particle which has zero electric charge and a spin of 1⁄2. Together with the electron, it forms the first...

Weak interactions create neutrinos in one of three leptonic flavors: electron neutrino, ν e muon neutrino, ν μ tau neutrino, ν τ Each flavor is associated...

Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which a neutrino created with a specific lepton family number ("lepton flavor": electron, muon...

of an electron accompanied by an antineutrino; or, conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron with a neutrino in so-called...

proton to a neutron and simultaneously causes the emission of an electron neutrino. p   +   e−     →     n   +   ν e or when written as a nuclear reaction...

Sterile neutrinos (or inert neutrinos) are hypothetical particles (neutral leptons – neutrinos) that interact only via gravity and not via any of the other...

comprise the electron ( e− ) and the electron neutrino ( ν e); the second are the muonic leptons, comprising the muon ( μ− ) and the muon neutrino ( ν μ);...

types (flavors) of neutrinos known in the Standard Model of particle physics, the Sun produces only electron neutrinos. When neutrino detectors became sensitive...

least three particles, which must include an electron of the same charge as the muon and two types of neutrinos. Like all elementary particles, the muon has...

Cherenkov radiation emitted when an incoming neutrino creates an electron or muon in the water. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was similar, but used heavy...
