approach brought about by Susy towards the grand unification
of the Standard Model.


A neutrino is a ghost particle, of which thousands of them are
passing through your body every second. These neutrinos are
produced during beta decay in cores of stars and in radioactive
decay of heavy elements:


n p + 푒− + v
In the above equation, ‘n’ is a neutron, ‘p’ is a proton, ‘v’ is a
neutrino and 푒− an electron.
A neutrino is very light that it’s far more difficult to determine
its mass. If it happens that experimentally, the mass of a
neutrino (cold neutrino mass) is determined, these particles are
candidates of the 23% of unknown gravity of our universe now
represented by dark matter.


Studying the table above, you will note that every matter has its
own antiparticle. An antiparticle has the same mass, spin, size,
and charge of opposite sign as its matter counterpart. Thus, for
example, an antiparticle of an electron 푒− is a positron 푒+.
When an antiparticle collides with its matter ‘sibling,’ they both
annihilate into energy. This is diagrammatically represented by
