Three types exist: muon neutrinos, electron neutrinos and tau neutrinos.
The scientists have observed such changes among neutrinos emanating from the sun, from cosmic ray collisions with atmospheric molecules, and from nuclear reactors To generate and measure neutrinos under-more controlled circumstances, researchers in Japan working on the experiment known as K2K have been beaming muon neutrinos through the ground to a detector 250 kilometers away.
An empirical parametrisation of the beam was developed, to predict the flux of electron neutrinos using the muon neutrino spectra measured by NOMAD.
