An exploratory study for a new method to search for heavy neutrinos with data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by Tan, Cherlene Shu Ning

“…Till this date, all neutrinos observed are left-handed, rotating clockwise with respect to the direction of motion while the corresponding antineutrinos are right-handed, spinning counterclockwise. However, the fact that neutrinos have mass and spin implies that right handed neutrinos and their corresponding left-handed antineutrinos may exist and have differing properties from their chiral counterparts. …”
