Write down the equation of beta-decay . ...

Write down the equation of `beta`-decay . Why is the detection of neutrinos difficult ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`underset"(parent)"X to underset"(daughter)"Y + underset((beta-"electron"))beta+ underset"(anti-neutrino)"barv`
The charge and mass of both neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are zero. Hence it is experimentally difficult to detect them
