3 NC: leptonisches Ereignis ν μ ν μ e Z 0 e Date: 1973 A lepton event - a neutrino interacting with a electron and emerging as a neutrino : first observation of "neutral currents" in the Gargamelle heavy liquid bubble chamber. In the photograph, an unseen neutrino interacts with an electron and emerges as a neutrino instead of changing into a muon - what is seen (horizontally) is the track of the electron. This lepton event offers proof of the existence of neutral currents. Hermann Kolanoski, EEP SS06-4.Neutrino-Oszillationen 3
