NEUTRINO

LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will provide basis for the completion of standard model of physics
which is the most successful model In the field of physics which has defined 12 fundamental
particles 4 fundamental forces. Fundamental particles are further divided into quarks and
laptons.Quarks are six, up and down, charms and stranger
and top - bottom. Here up and down are lightest whereas charm and stranger are heaviest and
least stable. Two up and one down forms the proton whereas two down and one up forms
neutron. For every quark there is anti quark to form anti particles. Laptons are six divided into
negatively charged and neutral. The negative laptons are electrons, muons and tau. Electron is
lightest and tau is heaviest. The neutral laptons are called neutrinos. The literal meaning is
smallneurtal one.

They are second most abundant particle in universe after photon emitted by sun, stars and any
object having radio isotopes. They are chargeless and there mass is many many times less then
that of electron. They are known as ghost particles because they do not interact with matter.

Neutrinos are of three types, electron, muon, and tau. While travelling one type of neutrino
converts into another type of neutrino. For explanation of this phenomenon, Arthur Mcdonald
and Takaki kajita got nobel prize of physics

Indian neutrino observatory is coming up in Bodi hills Theni district (T.N) It will place India on
global map at same following are implications
Neutrino based technology will strengthen cyber security

Neutrino particles are promising candidate for interplanatory communication. Reason is they are
chargeless. Therefore will not by deflected by any magnetic field. USA has already tested
communication device using neutrino

Neutrinos are emitted by different layers of earth and instrument Will detect neutrino to
understand geological phenomenon and tectonic forces Geo neutrinos will give an insight about
the tectonic moves responsible for earth quake and Tsunamis

Whenever there is Radi isotope, emission of Neutrino take place. If they can be detected then
nuclear prolifiration can be stoppef.

Neutrino particles shares characteristics of Dark matter particles and super symmetary particles
but linkage has yet not been proved. This research will surely throw light on these linkages

In Antarctica, ice cube experiment was executed. It was looking for sterile neutrinos which are
thought to be associated with dark matter. Some other projects on neutrino research are in Italy
Borexino. T2K in japan. For every electron there is anti Lapton forming anti particles.
