  2. Neutrino - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino

    More formally, neutrino flavor eigenstates (creation and annihilation combinations) are not the same as the neutrino mass eigenstates (simply labeled "1", "2", and "3"). As of 2024, it is not known which of these three is the heaviest. The neutrino mass hierarchy consists of two possible configurations. In analogy with the mass hierarchy of the ...

  3. Atomic mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_mass

    The atomic mass (relative isotopic mass) is defined as the mass of a single atom, which can only be one isotope (nuclide) at a time, and is not an abundance-weighted average, as in the case of relative atomic mass/atomic weight. The atomic mass or relative isotopic mass of each isotope and nuclide of a chemical element is, therefore, a number ...

  4. Generation (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_(particle_physics)

    The lower bound for a fourth generation neutrino (ν' τ) mass as of 2010 was at about 60 GeV (millions of times larger than the upper bound for the other 3 neutrino masses). [10] As of 2024, no evidence of a fourth-generation neutrino has ever been observed in neutrino oscillation studies either.

  5. Lepton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton

    The masses of those particles are small compared to nucleons—the mass of an electron (0.511 MeV/c 2) [18] and the mass of a muon (with a value of 105.7 MeV/c 2) [19] are fractions of the mass of the "heavy" proton (938.3 MeV/c 2), and the mass of a neutrino is nearly zero. [20]

  6. Neutrino mass hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_mass_hierarchy

    The problem of neutrino mass hierarchy is related to the fact that present experimental data on neutrino oscillations allow two possible classes of solutions. [ 1 ] In the first class, called Normal Hierarchy (NH) or Normal Ordering (NO), the two lightest mass eigenstates have a small mass difference, of the order of 10 meV, while the third ...

  7. Neutron detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_detection

    Mass: The neutron mass of 1.008 664 9156 (6) Da [1] is not directly detectable, but does influence reactions through which it can be detected. Reactions: Neutrons react with a number of materials through elastic scattering producing a recoiling nucleus, inelastic scattering producing an excited nucleus, or absorption with transmutation of the ...

  8. CONUS experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CONUS_experiment

    This process was predicted in 1974 [2] and is known as coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEνNS, pronounced "sevens" [3]). Although its cross section is several magnitudes larger than the cross section of the conventionally used interaction channels (see Figure 3), the tiny recoil of the struck nucleus leads to a very low energy ...

  9. Triatomic molecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triatomic_molecule

    Ozone, O 3 is an example of a triatomic molecule with all atoms the same. Triatomic hydrogen, H 3, is unstable and breaks up spontaneously. H 3 +, the trihydrogen cation is stable by itself and is symmetric. 4 He 3, the helium trimer is only weakly bound by van der Waals force and is in an Efimov state. [1] Trisulfur (S 3) is analogous to ozone.
