If this particle is its own antiparticle, then double beta decay can occur without this particle ever being produced.
These particles were discovered in an experiment in which two tanks of water and cadmium chloride were separated by a scintillator. If this particle is its own antiparticle, then double beta decay can occur without this particle ever being produced. These particles, which were first detected by Cowan and Reines, are studied by experiments at Super-Kamiokande and Sudbury that detect oscillations between their flavors. These particles were first postulated by Pauli to explain the conservation of angular momentum in beta decay. For 10 points, name these nearly massless and neutral leptons that come in electron, muon, and tau types.
