Left-Handed Neutrino and Right-Handed Antineutrino

Caption

The helicity, or handedness, of neutrinos has only been observed in two states, left-handed neutrinos and right-handed antineutrinos. Whether these are really the only two states of handedness depends on whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles.
