Why is it found experimentally difficult to detect neutrinos in nuclear `beta`-decay?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Neutrinos are difficult to detect experimentally in a decay because they are uncharged particles with almost no mass. Also, neutritions interact very weakly with matter, so they are very difficult to detect.
