plural an·ti·neu·tri·nos.Physics.
- : the antiparticle of a neutrino, distinguished from the neutrino by having clockwise rather than counterclockwise spin when observing in the direction of motion.
Examples
The KATRIN experiment studies tritium, a rare form of hydrogen that decays radioactively, emitting an electron and an antimatter mirror image of the neutrino, an antineutrino.
Measuring the energies of the electrons can reveal the masses of the antineutrinos that flitted away.
