- TL;DR Summary
- Does anyone know if neutrinos are there own antiparticles? And could there be more than the three known types of neutrinos?
I was looking into neutrinos and found that a man named Ettore Majorana proposed neutrinos and antineutrinos are the same thing. If this could be true, antineutrinos emitted during double beta decay could annihilate one another and vanish. However, this would violate lepton number conservation. Has this been proven?
Also, if neutrinos were there own antiparticles, would that explain the disappearance of antimatter in the universe?
Another thing I heard was that oddities in neutrino experiments have been found which may suggest that there are different neutrino interactions or neutrinos. What would this mean to science or engineering?
Thanks
