Why is the detection of neutrinos found very difficult?


There are two reasons:
1)Neutrinos are very difficult to detect because of their very low probability of interacting with matter, or more technically speaking, because of their "weak interaction".  Hence, the probability that a neutrino interacts with an instrument is very low, thus its detection probability is minimal.

2) Its mass is extremely small or null.

neutrinos are neutral particles with very small or even zero mass when compared to electrons. they have very weak interaction with other particles. therefore they are difficult to detect.
