What is an antineutrino and how does it differ from a neutrino?
An antineutrino is a subatomic particle that is the antimatter counterpart of a neutrino. The main difference between an antineutrino and a neutrino is their electric charge - neutrinos have no charge, while antineutrinos have a negative charge.
What is anti-neutrino?
An antineutrino is the antimatter counterpart to a neutrino. It has no electric charge, very low mass, and interacts very weakly with matter. Antineutrinos are produced in nuclear reactions, such as in the Sun or nuclear reactors.
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.
Which particle is associated with beta decay?
The atomic nucleus can emit beta particles (beta radiation). A neutron emits a beta particle when it decays into a proton, and anti-neutrino, and an electron (which becomes the beta particle).
What does the e represent in beta decay equations?
In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.

Neutral subatomic particles?
Examples are: neutron, antineutron, 3 neutrino and 3 antineutrino.
How do neutrinos differ from photon?
A photon is a unit of light and has a mass of 0 where is a Neutrino has a small but nonzero mass. Neutrino's are similar to electrons in most regards, except neutrino's have no charge. Where photon's travel at the speed of light neutrino's come close but do not.

What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?
Beta decay releases a fast-moving electron (beta particle) from a neutron in the nucleus. During beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and the electron and an antineutrino are emitted to conserve charge and energy.
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.
What does the e represent in beta decay equations?
In beta decay equations, e- refers to an electron (in beta-), and e+ refers to a positron (in beta+).Not asked, but answered for completeness, ve refers to the electron neutrino that accompanies the positron, and v-e refers to the electron antineutrino that accompanies the electron.
What is the electric charge of the antineutrino?
The antineutrino is electrically neutral, meaning it has no electric charge.
In beta decay what is emitted?
Beta- decay involves changing a neutron into a proton, with the emission of a W- boson, said boson then decaying into a electron and an electron antineutrino. Beta+ decay involves changing a proton into a neutron, with the contribution of energy, and then the emission of a positron and an electron neutrino.
