Why in news
Researchers conducting an experiment with the Large Hadron Collider reported observing electron-neutrinos in a particle collider for the first time.
What are Neutrinos
Neutrinos are a type of subatomic particle.
They :
don’t have an electric charge,
have a small mass, and
are left-handed (a physics term meaning the direction of its spin is opposite to the direction of its motion).
They are the second-most abundant particles in the universe after photons (particles of light)
They’re the most abundant among particles that make up matter.
Why Study Neutrinos?
Understanding these particles could transform what we know about our universe, the tools we use to study it, and the technologies in our lives
