Key Stage 5
Meaning
The antineutrino is the antiparticle of the neutrino.
About the Antineutrino
- 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.
Examples
- Antineutrinos are observed in experiments involving nuclear reactors.
- They play a role in understanding neutrino oscillations and weak force interactions.
