Neutrinos are ghostly particles. They can change their identities. They have mass of about one-millionth of the mass of electron. Also, they are neutral and interact only via the nuclear weak force and gravity. Think of this, if we take the strength of nuclear strong force as 1, electromagnetism’s strength is 10^-2, nuclear weak force’sContinueContinue reading “Neutrino – The Ghostly Particle”

What Are Leptons?
Leptons are one of the three types of particles of Standard Model of Particle Physics. The three groups are quarks, leptons and bosons. Like quarks, leptons have two groups i.e. charged leptons and neutrinos. Charged leptons consists of electron, muon and tau. And neutrino group consists of electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino. AmongContinueContinue reading “What Are Leptons?”
