neutrinos - 2025 PACE NSC - Buzzpoints App

Question

Estimates obtained by observing these particles are reported with distinct values for their "inverted" and "normal" orderings. Stars can cool via the creation of these particles by direct Urca processes. (20[1])A vector written in these particles' mass eigenbasis is left-multiplied by the PMNS matrix. (20[1])A right-handed (20[1])class (20[1])of these particles that only interacts via (20[2])gravity is a dark matter (20[1])candidate. (20[1])These particles (0[1])have been observed by (*) Super-Kamiokande (10[1])observatory (10[2])and an underground tank containing cadmium chloride. These particles are emitted alongside positrons in beta-plus decay. These particles oscillate between electron, muon, and tau flavors. For 10 points, name these particles whose name means "little neutron." ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: neutrinos [accept sterile neutrinos] (Normal ordering and inverted ordering are the two ways of representing the neutrino mass hierarchy.)
