Hello everybody, I am a first year physics student and I have a question about neutrinos and antineutrinos.
In a beta minus decay we will get an antineutrino, so I assume that Earth 'produces' more antineutrinos. Does it?
However from a beta plus we get neutrinos and positrons. So does that mean that we had more protons in the beginning that started becoming neutrons? Do the neutrinos that we find now, were mostly created after the big bang?
Do neutrino detectors detect antineutrinos too?
----------------------------------------------------------
Does that mean that the number of the electrons in stars etc is getting smaller, cause of positrons? (random)
