antineutrino comparison table

Subject	is not accelerated by	is a kind of	has quantum behavior	has spin	obey	has definition	has charge	has antiparticle
antiparticle		particle			uncertainty principle	Particles with identical mass and spin as those of ordinary matter, but with opposite charge. Antimatter has been produced experimentally, but little of it is found in nature. Why this should be so is one of the questions that must be answered by any adequate theory of the early universe.
lepton		elementary particle	Fermi-Dirac statistics	1/2	exclusion principle	Elementary particle like the electron and neutrino that do not experience the strong nuclear force. Unlike the strongly interacting hadrons, the leptons have small masses.
neutral particle	electric or magnetic fields	particle			uncertainty principle	A particle with zero charge	0
antineutrino	electric or magnetic fields	antiparticle	Fermi-Dirac statistics	1/2	uncertainty principle	The antiparticle of a neutrino.	0	neutrino
