Neutrinos oscillate between different flavors in flight. That is, an electron neutrino produced in a beta decay reaction may arrive in a detector as a muon or tau neutrino. This oscillation requires that the different neutrino flavors have different masses, although these masses have been shown to be tiny.he neutrino (meaning little neutral one in Italian) is denoted by the Greek letter Î½ (nu). Neutrinos have mass, but tiny even compared to other subatomic particles.
