neutrino interactions

Neutrinos are tiny, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter. They are produced in processes like nuclear reactions in the sun or during supernova explosions. Most neutrinos pass through Earth and even through people without any interaction. When they do interact, it’s typically through the weak nuclear force, which means they can change other particles into different types but do so very rarely. Because of their elusive nature, neutrinos are important in studying fundamental physics, helping scientists understand the universe's origins and the forces that govern it.
