It is possible that the neutrino and antineutrino are in fact the same particle, a hypothesis first proposed by the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana. The neutrino could transform into an antineutrino and vice versa by flipping the orientation of its spin state
Scientists found another flavour of neutrino called sterile which do not have the normal weak interactions.

ReplyDeleteCould be that sterile neutrino may be the elusive dark matter ?
