First proposed by Wolfgang Pauli to explain the observed energy loss in beta decay, their name was coined by Enrico Fermi.
Although these leptons occur with a frequency of billions per cubic meter, very few react with protons or neutrons, and because the reactions that do not produce ionization, they are difficult to detect.

For 10 points—name these uncharged particles with small but nonzero mass, found in electron, muon, and tau varieties.
