When was Tau neutrino created?
Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
Does neutrino mean neutron?
Definatly not! A Neutron is a kind of Baryon (a type of Hadron) made up of the subatomic particles: Up quark, Down quark and Electrons. Now a Neutrino is different, there are three different types. There are Electron Neutrinoes, Muon Neutrinoes, and Tau Neutrinoes. Neutrinos are a type of Lepton, for every Neutrino there is a equivalent non-neutrino. For example, There is an Electron and an Electron Neutrino. So to conclude Neutrino does not mean Neutron, instead it is describing a type of Lepton. This should answer the Question.
How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?
The solar neutrino problem relates to the discrepancy between the proportions of the different flavours of neutrinos emitted by the sun in the theoretical model as opposed to experimental measurements. Whilst the sun primarily emitts electron neutrinos, neutrino observatories such as SNO+ detected neutrinos in roughly equal proportions of the three flavours; furthermore the quantity of electron neutrinos detected was less than the theoretically predicted value. Both of these can be explained by neutrino oscillation - in which the neutrinos alter their mass to change their flavour (ie. an electron neutrinos gain mass to change to a muon neutrino). This would also explain the relative lack of electron neutrinos, thus solving the solar neutrino problem!
What species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
Are laptons electrons?
I presume you mean lepton instead of lapton ;) In which case leptons are not electrons, but electrons are leptons. Leptons are a group of matter particles which do not feel the strong nuclear force and are believed to be elementary (i.e. they do not consist of smaller particles). They are: -Electron -Muon -Tau(on) -Electron neutrino -Muon neutrino -Tau neutrino and their associated anti particles (such as the anti-electron, commonly known as the positron).
What is an antielectron neutrino?
An antielectron neutrino is an antileptonic elementary particle - the antiparticle of an electron neutrino.
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.
What are the differences between electrons and electron-neutrinos?
1. Electron is a particle with negative charge, component of all atoms. 2. Electron neutrino is associated with the production of electrons; electron neutrino has not an electrical charge.
When was Tau neutrino created?
Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
What is emitted by an atom as a result of electron capture?
After electron capture a neutrino is released.

When was Baksan Neutrino Observatory created?
Baksan Neutrino Observatory was created in 1977.
When was Little Neutrino created?
Little Neutrino was created on 1974-10-18.
Does a photon and neutrino collision make an electron?
No. Both the photon and the neutrino have zero electrical charge and as such cannot create a charged particle.
How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?
The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.

Are atoms the smallest particles of matter?
No. The smallest particle of matter appears to be the electron neutrino, with a mass somewhat less than 2.2 eV. Even the electron, at 511 eV, is massive, compared to the neutrino.
