Sure there have! The missing energy observations of many different beta
decays are all consistent with the ejection of a single particle with
mass 0 and spin 1/2; and the fact that it is missing indicates it
interacts extremely weakly. But the direct observation of the neutrino
from individual beta decays is not possible (because they do indeed
interact extremely weakly).
Of course, my point is that it is also equally consistent with a
neutrino striking a neutron and producing no neutrino.
To check what experiments have been performed, I emailed scientists
involved with the SNO neutrino detector at the University of
Washington. Indeed, they have performed experiments with neutrino only
experiments and they can detect the production of neutrinos from
energetic electron capture (or reverse beta decay) for 51CR and 37Ar..
So it is hardly 'impossible' to detect neutrino generation. I am
continuing to find out if a beta-decay only experiment might be
practical as well.
I find it interesting that electron capture is also consistent with my
model of the neutrino (1 positron, 1 electron) and proton (2
positrons, 1 electron) . The equation works out for electron capture
as:
Proton ( + + - ) + Electron ( - ) => Neutron ( + - ) + Neutrino ( + -
)
In this case, I do predict the production of a real neutrino as opposed
to beta decay which should have none.
How does standard theory handle the combination of 3 quarks plus an
electron to form a neutrino/neutron pair?
