Both Dirac and Majorana masses are used to model these particles in the seesaw mechanism, suggesting that a superheavy "sterile" type may exist.
Both Dirac and Majorana masses are used to model these particles in the seesaw mechanism, suggesting that a superheavy "sterile" type may exist. The Homestake experiment attempted to count these particles. The PMNS matrix describes their namesake flavor oscillations. These particles were first proposed by Wolfgang Pauli to account for the loss of energy during beta decay. They are detected by the Super-Kamiokande observatory. For 10 points, name these charge-less leptons that come in electron, muon, and tau varieties.
