Heavy neutrino

NLegendaryHypothetical: never detected, game threshold is fictional

Fact from the codex

Hypothetical: a heavy, electrically neutral lepton. In the seesaw mechanism it explains why the known neutrinos are so light and could help explain the surplus of matter in the universe. If it decayed with a delay, the decay point would sit away from the collision. Not detected so far.

Professor Quark says

“A heavy neutrino. The known neutrinos are tiny – maybe because they have heavy siblings: the heavier the one, the lighter the others. A seesaw, and that is literally what the mechanism is called. Hypothetical.”
