text: In addition to satisfying the Majorana equation, if the neutrino were also its own antiparticle, then it would be the first Majorana fermion.
text: According to certain theories, neutrinos may be their own antiparticle.
text: If neutrinos are their own antiparticles, it's possible that the antineutrinos emitted during double beta decay could annihilate one another and disappear, violating lepton number conservation.
text: That would imply that the neutrino is actually its own antiparticle (an idea credited to Majorana).
text: In 1937, Ettore Majorana demonstrated that all results of beta decay theory remain unchanged if the neutrino were its own antiparticle, now known as a Majorana particle.
text: Since then, experiments have cropped up across Asia, Europe and North America searching for hints that the neutrino is its own antiparticle.
text: However, according to certain theories, neutrinos may be their own antiparticle, but it is not currently known whether this is the case or not.
text: This would occur if neutrinos were actually their own antiparticles.
