So far it is unknown which rules neutrinos follow when they alter their identity. A study in which scientists of the Excellence Cluster Universe at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany, participated has now revealed that even the last of the three parameters, which describe the oscillation of neutrinos is most likely to be greater than zero. This may help to understand the development of the early Universe. The paper will be published in the journal Physical Review D.
