2 “It is the most tiny quantity of reality ever imagined by a human being” -F.Reines

3 VeVe Antiparticle:Antineutrino Mass:Less than 160 keV (possibly massless) Charge:Neutral Lifetime:Stable Most Common Decay: In the Dirac model, neutrinos decay into undetectable particles.

4 Equation The emission of a positron or an electron is referred to as beta decay. The positron is accompanied by a neutrino, a mass less(?) and charge less particle.positronbeta decayneutrino This is Just an example. Copper decays to nickel and creates a positron and neutrino.

5 The Discovery of the Neutrino In 1930 Wolfgang Pauli proposed a solution to the missing energy in nuclear beta decays, namely that it was carried by a neutral particle. Enrico Fermi in 1933 named the particle the "neutrino" and formulated a theory for calculating the simultaneous emission of an electron with a neutrino.
