Home > Antineutrino

 
An antineutrino is the antimatter equivalent particle of the neutrino. It is produced in nuclear beta decay as a balance to the electron emitted by the nucleus. Neutrinos and antineutrinos only interact with other matter particles via the weak nuclear force, and consequently their properties do not differ greatly.

There is a hypothesis, that the neutrino and the antineutrino are actually the same particle. This would mean, that the neutrino field is not a Dirac spinor, as in the standard model, but a Majorana spinor. For experimental evidence on this, attempts are made to find neutrinoless double beta decay.

Electronic paperElectronic paper or e-paper, is a technology that allows the text on a piece of paper to be re-written. The "paper" is actually made of organic electronics that use conductive plastic which contains tiny balls that respond to an electric charge, changingElectronThe electron (also called negatron commonly represented as e&minus is a subatomic particle. In an atom the electrons surround the nucleus of protons and neutrons in an electron configuration. Electrons have the smallest electrical charge and when they movElectronic musicElectronic music is a loose term for music created using electronic equipment. Any sound produced by the means of an electrical signal may reasonably be called electronic, and the term is sometimes used that way in music where acoustic performance is the

This is a very small amount of energy: : 1 eV 1. 602 176 53 (14) × 10−19 J.
