neutrino production

Neutrino production occurs in nuclear reactions, such as those in the sun, nuclear reactors, or during cosmic events. When atomic nuclei interact or decay, they can emit neutrinos—tiny, nearly massless particles that rarely interact with matter. For example, in the sun’s core, nuclear fusion releases energy and neutrinos simultaneously. These particles escape almost unimpeded, providing valuable information about distant processes. Neutrinos are fundamental in understanding how stars function and the universe's fundamental forces, despite their elusive nature and difficulty to detect.
