Neutrinos: The Ghosts of the Standard Model of Particle PhysicsNeutrinos are the lightest massive particles ever observed. For many decades it was unclear whether neutrinos were completely massless or instead just had a very small mass, but the results of several large experiments at the end of the 20th century convincingly proved that they do have a very small ...
