Antineutrino

Key Stage 5

Has a very small mass and no electric charge.
Produced in nuclear beta decay and other particle interactions.
Difficult to detect due to weak interactions with matter.
Antineutrinos are involved in processes such as beta decay and fusion reactions in stars.
They play a crucial role in the balance of particles and energy in nuclear reactions.
Antineutrinos have three types corresponding to the three flavours of neutrinos: electron, muon, and tau.
Experiments like neutrino observatories are designed to detect antineutrinos to study their properties and behaviour.

Antineutrinos are observed in experiments involving nuclear reactors.
They play a role in understanding neutrino oscillations and weak force interactions.
