Summary

An electrically neutral lepton occurring in three flavors; observed flavor oscillations imply nonzero neutrino masses beyond the minimal massless-neutrino Standard Model.

Incoming relations (arrows to this concept)

Each relation below ends at this concept.

Continuous beta-spectrum problemNeutrino

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Pauli proposed the neutrino to preserve conservation laws in continuous beta decay.

How to interpret this relation type

The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

LeptonNeutrino

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Electron, muon, and tau neutrinos are neutral leptons.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

NeutrinoAntineutrino

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Antineutrino denotes the charge-conjugate weak-interaction state or channel; whether it is a distinct particle from the neutrino depends on the unresolved Dirac-versus-Majorana question.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

NeutrinoCowan–Reines reactor-neutrino experiment

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Delayed coincidence signatures provided direct evidence for reactor antineutrinos.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Electron-, muon-, and tau-neutrino states are flavor-basis states of the neutrino sector.

NeutrinoNeutrino mass

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Neutrinos have nonzero but very small masses; the absolute scale and ordering are incompletely determined.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The observed light neutrino sector contains three propagating mass eigenstates, conventionally labeled ν1,ν2,ν3\nu_1,\nu_2,\nu_3.
