Question
Why is it found experimentally difficult to detect neutrinos in nuclear $\beta$-decay?

Answer

Neutrinos are neutral (chargeless), (almost) massless particles that hardly interact with matter.

Alternate Answer

The neutrinos can penetrate large quantity of matter without any interaction

Alternate Answer

Neutrinos are chargeless and (almost) massless particles.
