Massless particles which interact poorly with matter
|
|
|
|
|
In that first respect, similar to photons
|
|
|
|
|
Can pass through sun without being absorbed
|
|
|
|
|
Same property makes them very hard to detect

100,000 gallon tank of C2Cl4 dry cleaning
fluid

in Cl nuclei n
+ p+ + e- so Cl (Z=17) becomes Ar (Z=18)
|
|
|
|
|
Physically separate out the Ar, then wait for it to radioactively
decay

Saw only 1/3 the neutrinos predicted
