What is Electron neutrino?
The '''electron neutrino''' ( ν ) is an [[elementary particle]] which has zero [[electric charge]] and a spin of 1⁄2. Together with the [[electron]], it forms the first generation of [[Lepton|leptons]]. It was first guessed by [[Wolfgang Pauli]] in 1930. It was accounted for missing [[momentum]] and missing energy in [[beta decay]]. Later it was discovered in 1956 by a team led by [[Clyde Cowan]] and [[Frederick Reines]] (see [[:en:Cowan–Reines neutrino experiment|Cowan–Reines neutrino experiment]]). {{Chem-stub}} [[Category:Elementary particles]]
