what happens if a neutrino hits head on with a proton,neutron or an electron?
jayaramas said:so if u calculate number of protons in Earth and still considering that all solar neutrinos pass through it is not justifiable is it?
jayaramas said:what is the reverse process? any way neutrino came from a nuclear reaction, so a fast moving neutrino can hit and attains its position back. why is it not likely?
jetwaterluffy said:The electron doesn't interact with the weak force anyway, from what I know, so there would be no effect, except perhaps gravitational forces.
bbbeard said:Not true. Actually, beta decay is the paradigmatic weak force interaction.
jetwaterluffy said:Yeah, I worked that out after I had already posted. However, I still can't see how they can "collide".
A neutrino collision is when a neutrino, a subatomic particle with no electric charge, interacts with a proton, neutron, or electron, causing a change in their trajectories or properties.
Neutrinos can collide with other particles through the weak nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. This force allows for interactions between subatomic particles, including neutrinos and protons, neutrons, or electrons.
During a neutrino collision, the neutrino may scatter off the proton, neutron, or electron, transferring some of its energy and momentum to the other particle. The neutrino may also be absorbed by the other particle, causing it to change into a different type of particle.
Neutrino collisions can provide insights into the properties and behavior of neutrinos, which are difficult to study due to their weak interactions. Studying neutrino collisions can also help us understand the fundamental forces of nature and the structure of matter.
Neutrino collisions have practical applications in fields such as nuclear physics, astrophysics, and particle physics research. They can also be used in medical imaging and radiation therapy, as well as in the development of new technologies, such as neutrino detectors and reactors.
