Neutral particle

In physics, a neutral particle is a particle with no electric charge. This is not to be confused with a truly neutral particle, a neutral particle that is also identical to its own antiparticle. In physics, a neutral particle is a particle with no electric charge. This is not to be confused with a truly neutral particle, a neutral particle that is also identical to its own antiparticle. Long-lived neutral particles provide a challenge in the construction of particle detectors, because they do not interact electromagnetically, except possibly through their magnetic moments. This means that they do not leave tracks of ionized particles or curve in magnetic fields. Examples of such particles include photons, neutrons, and neutrinos.
