Revision 86 as rendered

The Standard Model had neutrinos massless. Oscillations showed they are not, which earned the 2015 Nobel Prize, and the solar neutrino problem was resolved along the way. The absolute masses, their ordering, and whether neutrinos are Majorana particles remain open. KATRIN bounds the mass below 0.45 eV.

Closed 1998, Super-Kamiokande: neutrinos oscillate, so they have mass.
