This makes the study of these neutrini quite challenging. But also quite interesting.</p><p>Are there antineutrini? Yes, surely. But, a better question is what are antineutrini?</p><p><br>Antiparticles with an electric charge are easier to identify. <a href="http://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics/positron">Positrons</a> and electrons have opposite charges and behave oppositely in most respects. </p><p><a href="http://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics/photon">Photons</a> and <a href="http://pasayten.org/the-field-guide-to-particle-physics/neutral-pion">neutral pions</a> do not have any electric charge. They are their own antiparticle partners! But this is
