Word Finder - neutrino

definition

An elementary particle that is classified as a lepton, and has an extremely small but nonzero mass and no electric charge. It interacts with the surroundings only via the weak force or gravitation, making it very difficult to detect.

From tritium decay experiments comes an upper limit of 2.2 eV for the electron neutrino.

Areas being researched are neutrino astrophysics, the Casimir effect, quantum gravity fluctuations and laboratory astrophysics.

Its purpose is to study hadron production for the neutrino factory and to aid understanding of the atmospheric neutrino flux.

For each charged lepton flavor there is a corresponding neutrino flavor.

Particle physics experiments so far directly establish only values for the square of neutrino mass differences.

Marciano reported on the possible muon physics using the muons from a Neutrino Factory.

Despite being very difficult to detect the neutrino was observed in the 1960s.

The implications for high energy neutrino, gamma ray and cosmic ray production in GRB and AGN jets are discussed.

Just out of curiosity, look up how many neutrino 's we survive from passing through our body from the Sun every second!

Indeed, dedicated neutrino detectors struggle just to record a handful of incoming neutrino detectors struggle just to record a handful of incoming neutrinos from potent nearby sources like the sun.

Currenly has the best limit on electron neutrino to muon neutrino oscillations.

An example of this would be a tau neutrino with considerable mass.

Of these, only the neutrino has been proved to exist and the electron neutrino, at least, has little or no mass.

Scientific Impact A new window into the Universe opens with the advent of high energy neutrino telescopes.

Explain how both of these problems could be resolved by possible neutrino oscillations.

Electron neutrino identification and background systematics studies in the Near and Far Detectors as part of muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillation analysis.
