Current research is attempting to determine whether or not double-beta decay can occur without creating this particle, which would mean that these are their own antiparticles.
Current research is attempting to determine whether or not double-beta decay can occur without creating this particle, which would mean that these are their own antiparticles. These particles can change flavor, which is considered their oscillation. That change was verified at an observatory in Sudbury, Ontario in 2001, explaining why fewer of these were emitted by the sun than originally predicted and confirming that these objects have mass. Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines discovered the first type, and it is now known that there are three of these: tau, muon, and electron, so each of these three leptons is associated with one of the other three leptons. Name these subatomic particles unaffected by the electromagnetic or strong force, which makes them good at penetrating matter and difficult to detect.
