Abstract

The Law of Lepton Conservation Number tells us that whenever electrons radiate energy in the form of photons, the photon radiation must be accompanied by electron neutrinos. Synchrotrons such as the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS 11) at Brookhaven National Laboratory or the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Light Source (SSRL) would be excellent sources for producing abundant neutrinos for neutrino detection studies. Bremsstrahlung (electron breaking mechanism) is the process that explains energy jets as observed being given out from Active Galactic Nuclei and Pulsars.

Highlights

  • The Law of Lepton Conservation Number tells us that whenever electrons radiate energy in the form of photons, the photon radiation must be accompanied by electron neutrinos

  • This law implies that when accelerated electrons/positrons radiate energy in the form of photons some of the energy is carried away by neutrinos/antineutrinos that are equal in number to the number of radiating electrons/positrons

  • The photons and electron neutrinos created by the energy given to the electrons would shoot out in the direction of the acceleration or the direction of forward electron motion

Summary

Lepton Number Conservation Law

The Lepton number on the left side of the equation must equal the Lepton number on the right side of the equation. Electrons and electron neutrinos are given the number +1. Electron (1) → Electron neutrino (1) + photons (0), Positron (−1) → Positron antineutrino (−1) + photons (0). For each electron only one neutrino can be produced and for each positron only 1 antineutrino can be produced to balance the numbers in the above equations. The need for photons to conserve Energy because the mass of the neutrino/antineutrino is infinitesimally small compared to the mass of the electron/positron. This law implies that when accelerated electrons/positrons radiate energy in the form of photons some of the energy is carried away by neutrinos/antineutrinos that are equal in number to the number of radiating electrons/positrons. There is no significant amount of radiation for non-relativistic motion be-
