Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor.
There are a variety of ways to detect neutrino oscillation. In general, you have to get a look at a population of neutrinos at one point in the population's life cycle, and then again at a later point.
Neutrino oscillations are real, ergo they have rest mass. Can they be slowed down, to be stationary relative to galaxy clusters?
neutrino oscillations Possible solution to the solar neutrino problem, in which the neutrino has a very tiny mass.

do have a minute amount of mass, it may be possible for them to change their properties, even to transform into other particles, during their 8-minute flight from the solar core to Earth, through a process generally known as neutrino oscillations.
While neutrino oscillation experiments only measure delta mass squared values, this result indicates that neutrinos are probably not the cosmological dark matter, since if the tau neutrino has a mass of 0.
The Super-Kamiokande in Japan provided the first convincing evidence for neutrino oscillation in which one flavour of neutrino changes into another.
Massive neutrinos can oscillate between the three flavors, in a phenomenon known as neutrino oscillation (which provides a solution to the solar neutrino problem and the atmospheric neutrino problem at the same time).
This phenomenon, known as neutrino oscillation, explains why there are many fewer electron neutrinos observed from the sun and the upper atmosphere than expected, and has also been directly observed.
Part of this revision comes in the form of the proposed neutrino oscillations that might be responsible for converting one type of neutrino to another.
