You study neutrinos. Could you explain what they are?
Neutrinos are one of the most abundant fundamental particles in the universe. They come in three types, or flavours: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos. A neutrino is similar to an electron but has no electrical charge and a tiny mass. Neutrinos are not part of an atom, unlike protons, neutrons and electrons. Like other constituents of the Standard Model of particle physics, they are assumed to be point-like objects – they aren’t made of any smaller pieces that we know of.
According to the Standard Model, there exist 12 fundamental particles, namely three families of leptons – electron, muon and tau and corresponding neutrinos – up quarks and down quarks and their antimatter versions. The most abundant are neutrinos, created in the
