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.

∙ 8y agoFrederick Reines and Clyde Cowan published their first paper on the subject in 1956, although they probably discovered it as such the year before. The neutrino was first proposed as a neutral particle that should exist by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930. Enrico Fermi named the particle as the neutrino and formed a theory for simultaneous emission of a neutrino with an electron during beta decay in 1933.

Why did the neutrino take so long to discover?
Lack of lab equipment, Cowan Reines proved the existence of the neutrino in 1956 but to do that they needed a nuclear reactor as a source of a neutrino flux
When was Tau neutrino created?
Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
When was Electron neutrino created?
Electron neutrino was created in 1956.
How is the existence of the neutrino confirmed?
Actually, we can't even confirm the existence of atoms, let alone subatomic particles. But when scientists conduct experiments, they come to the conclusion that the particles are indeed valid. The more discrete physics becomes, the more theoretical it is.
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.
Austrian physicist who postulated the existence of the neutrino?
Wolfgang Pauli
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!

Who postulated the existence of temporary dipole attraction among nonpolar molecules?
dalton
What is the achievements of the Greece philosopher Democritus?
Democritus and his mentor Leucippus postulated the existence of the atom.
Who first postulated the existence of the electron?
Good ol' J. J. Thomson my man. Using cathode rays
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.
When was Tau neutrino created?
Tau neutrino was created in 2000.
When was Muon neutrino created?
Muon neutrino was created in 1962.
When was Electron neutrino created?
Electron neutrino was created in 1956.
