![]() ![]() ![]() It is now known that both the proposed and the observed particles were antineutrinos. In this experiment, now known as the neutrino experiment, neutrinos created in a nuclear reactor by beta decay were shot into protons producing neutrons and positrons both of which could be detected. McGuire published the article "Detection of the Free Neutrino: a Confirmation" in Science, a result that was rewarded with the 1995 Nobel Prize. In 1956 Clyde Cowan, Frederick Reines, F. In 1942 Kan-Chang Wang first proposed to use beta-capture to experimentally detect neutrinos. Pauli theorized that an undetected particle was carrying away the observed difference between the energy and momentum of the initial and final particles. ![]() The neutrino was first postulated in December 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli to explain conservation of energy in beta decay, the decay of a neutron into a proton and an electron.
