| Dec 1, 2019 at 23:18 | comment | added | Árpád Szendrei | Correct, thank you it says between 10^-4 and 10^-15e. So anything lower would not be detectable, but theoretically possible to weakly interact with the EM field so that we cannot detect the interaction? | |

| Dec 1, 2019 at 23:12 | comment | added | rob♦ | To learn if it's possible for a neutrino to have charge $10^{-10}e$, follow my instructions in the final paragraph. | |
| Dec 1, 2019 at 23:10 | comment | added | Árpád Szendrei | All correct. What I do not get is, what if the neutrino is so low mass, and flies near speed of light, and only has a fraction of the elementary charge, that it weakly interacts with EM fields too. Is that a possibility at all for a neutrino to have for example only 10^-10 the elementary charge? | |
