I What happens when two Neutrinos collide?

[Neutrin0]

I was thinking about how particles collide and how we can detect it but how do we do the same for neutrinos? We can’t detect them without big water detectors and the chances of two neutrinos colliding is probably near zero but what does happen when they do collide? Do they release energy? Do they don’t release energy? I’m assuming for now that they don’t release energy since they have no charge so if anyone can provide a answer that would be great!

All due respect I’d rather get answers from professionals in said field or people who know the answer to a question rather than fully relying on a AI response from google, sometimes it doesn’t explain it so it’s better to have a real person explain it in my opinion. But thank you for answering my question.

Well, there is this very successful theory called the Standard Model. It describes interactions between elementary particles, including neutrinos. You might want to check it out. Look specifically for "weak interactions", which are the only kind of interactions neutrinos take part in. The image posted by @phinds sums it up nicely.

If neutrinos collide they would undergo a regular weak interaction. This can either be elastic or inelastic depending on energy. An elastic scatter would not be very noticable.

The cross section of interaction would increase manifold if the com energy approaches the weak scale.
