What is the difference between a neutrino and an electron neutrino?
Can neutrinos be detected?
Yes, neutrinos can be detected, but it's a very difficult process. Neutrinos interact only very weakly with matter, so they can pass through massive amounts of material without being affected. However, very occasionally, a neutrino will interact with an atom in a detector, producing a tiny flash of light or a burst of electrical charge that can be detected. To detect neutrinos, researchers use very sensitive detectors that are able to pick up these extremely faint signals.
