Electron neutrino
The
electron neutrino
is a
subatomic
lepton
elementary particle
which has no net
electric charge
. Together with the
electron
it forms the first
generation
of leptons, hence its name
electron
neutrino
. It was first hypothesized by
Wolfgang Pauli
in 1930, to account for
missing momentum
and
missing energy
in
beta decay
, and was discovered in 1956 by a team led by
Clyde Cowan
and
Frederick Reines
(see
Cowan–Reines neutrino experiment
).

Neutrino
A
neutrino
( or ) (denoted by the Greek letter
ν
) is a
lepton
, an
elementary particle
with
half-integer spin
, that interacts only via the
weak subatomic force
and
gravity
. The
mass
of the neutrino is tiny compared to other subatomic particles. They are the only identified candidate for
dark matter
, specifically
hot dark matter
.
