Neutrino

All neutrinos are electrically uncharged elementary particles with spin ½.

Explanation

Neutrinos are leptons and thus fermions.

	νe e neutrino		νµ µ neutrino		ντ τ neutrino
	ν̅e elektron antineutrino		ν̅µ muon antineutrino		ν̅τ tau antineutrino

Because antineutrinos and neutrinos are neutral particles, it is possible that they are the same particle. Particles that have this property are known as Majorana particles.

History The neutrino was postulated in 1932 by Wolfgang Pauli as an elementary particle that arises at the transition from a neutron to a proton and an electron.
