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.
