A Brief History of Neutrinos• Postulated by Pauli as a desperate measure to restore
momentum and energy conservation in beta decay (1930)• Electron type neutrino discovered by Reines and Cowan in
reactor experiments (1956)• Muon type neutrino produced in accelerators by Lederman,
Schwartz, Steinberger et al (1962)• LEP experiments measure N(nu) = 2.994 +-0.012 (1991-
2002)• Neutrinos from the Sun detected by Davis et al (1968)• Neutrinos from Supernova 1987A detected in US and Japan• Neutrino oscillations discovered in atmospheric neutrinos
[IMB, Kamiokonde (1988), SuperKamiokande (1998)]• Solar neutrino deficit confirmed by various experiments and
interpreted as evidence for neutrino oscillations (1968 –)
