Why is a neutrino released during positron emission?

To preserve the conservation of; energy, momentum, and angular momentum in beta plus decay. Without the neutrino there is a measurable difference between the energy, momentum, and angular momentum of the initial and final particle. The neutrino rectifies this difference and it's existence was actually postulated before it was ever discovered!


What is an antielectron neutrino?

An antielectron neutrino is an antileptonic elementary particle - the antiparticle of an electron neutrino.


What is an antimuon neutrino?

An antimuon neutrino is an antileptonic elementary particle which is the antiparticle of a muon neutrino.


Who postulated the existence of the neutrino?

Walter Baade and Fritz Zwicky proposed the existence of the neutron star in 1934. Antony Hewish and Samuel Okoye discovered "an unusual source of high radio brightness temperature in the Crab Nebula" in 1965, which turned out to be the Crab Nebula neutron star.

What are the three particles in the lepton family?

They aren't 3 they are in fact 12 if you count anti matter as a separate particle from matter. Electron, muon, tau, electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino. The same apply to anti matter positron, anti muon, anti tau, postrin neutrino, anti muon neutrino, and anti tau neutrino.
