title: The Elusive Neutrino: A Subatomic Detective Story (Scientific American Library)
author:  Nickolas Solomey 
description: For more than 60 years, researchers in particle physics have been pursuing the neutrino. Just developing the technology and the means to detect this subatomic particle took 20 years. Physicists continue to be tantalized by the question of its mass does the neutrino weigh anything and, if so, how much? and the unique characteristics of spin and symmetry that set this particle apart from others.

   **Preface**
  
  Among the particles in the universe, the neutrino is the tiniest and the one
  with the weakest interactions, yet it has a disproportionately outsized
  influence on the creation of the universe that is our home today. That is why
  the story of the neutrino is a fascinating one. Starting with how it entered
  the discussion of science in 1930 to how it was discovered and how its
  properties were uncovered as time evolved, the neutrino’s story has been laced
  with curiosity, suspense, hard work, and the thrill of discovery of the
  unanticipated. So is its promise for great societal applications in the
  future. The discoveries are still evolving with new in
