On 4th December of this year, physicists will celebrate a milestone birthday of the neutrino. On that day 90 years ago, Wolfgang Pauli wrote his famous letter that suggested a possible solution of the mystery of the continuous energy spectrum of electrons emitted in nuclear beta-decay. Pauli assumed that in this process the mother nucleus decays into three parts – the daughter nucleus, electron and a new, then unknown neutral particle, later called the neutrino. In the decay into three or more parts, all products have continuous energy spectra.
