Possible solutions to a problem regarding these particles are given in the “Normal” and “Inverted” Hierarchies. Two W-minus bosons exchange one of these particles in a proposed mechanism sought after by the EXO-200 experiment. In a parametrization of these particles, a free quantity characterizing CP-violation is represented by the phase factor “delta,” which appears along with three angles in the PMNS matrix. Two down quarks are converted into up quarks with the release of electrons in a hypothetical form of (*) double beta decay that does not produce these particles in which they are required to be their own antiparticle. Because they don’t interact with any force except gravity, right-handed versions of these particles are called “sterile.” For 10 points, identify these leptons whose name comes from a combination of their low mass and zero charge. ■END■
