Description
Summary:Neutrinos are lepton particles that are electrically neutral. They also have curious properties like having a tiny mass and its right chiral version either does not exist or only interacts via gravity and does not interact through any other force. Neutrinos have often been thought to be massless, and the existence of the tiny mass has led to many theories extending beyond the Standard Model. This project aims to survey the theories that seek to explain the tiny mass of the left-handed neutrino.
