By definition, neutrinos interact with weak force and sterile neutrinos don't.
- bdonlan 8y agoWhat interactions are left then? Neutrinos don't interact with the electromagnetic or strong forces, and I don't think we can observe gravitational effects in an accelerator, so how are we detecting these sterile neutrinos?
- danharaj 8y agoNeutrinos oscillate between different flavors. If a sterile neutrino exists then we will see deviations in the distribution of detected neutrino flavors because they will oscillate differently.
