Wolfgang Pauli first posited its existence in 1931 as an explanation for the continuous spectrum of beta­decay, and his friend Enrico Fermi coined its name.

In 1956 it was detected for the first time by passing radiation through a tank of water and cadmium chloride, an experiment which earned Reines the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics. The Super K reactor that imploded in Japan was attempting to count these. They have ½ spin, which because it is not an integer dictates that they are fermions and are subject to the Pauli Exclusion Principle.  For ten points identify these uncharged and nearly massless particles whose 3 flavors are electron, muon, and tau.
