First postulated by Pauli to explain the loss of energy in beta decay, they are detected from the Cherenkov radiation they emit at facilities such as Super-Kamiokande, which typically consist of large tanks of chlorine or heavy water.
The PMNS matrix models one phenomenon involving these particles. The Homestake experiment set out to measure them, but only turned up one third the predicted number. First postulated by Pauli to explain the loss of energy in beta decay, they are detected from the Cherenkov radiation they emit at facilities such as Super-Kamiokande, which typically consist of large tanks of chlorine or heavy water. They oscillate between three flavors, which shows that they have non-zero but very low mass. For 10 points, name these uncharged leptons that come in tau, muon, and electron varieties.
