Question

Why is it found experimentally difficult to detect neutrinos in nuclear α-decay?

Answer 1

Neutrinos are difficult to detect experimentally in β decay because they are uncharged particles with almost no mass. Also, neutrinos interact very weakly with matter, so they are very difficult to detect.
