Neutrino Sudoku Puzzles!

Key Information:

Neutrino Sudoku combines the fun of Sudoku puzzles with a hint of neutrino "flavor". Instead of the usual numerals 1 through 9, "neutrino sudoku" uses basic elements of the standard model, with ν₁, ν₂, ν₃, ν_μ, ν_e, ν_τ, W⁺, W^-, and Z as the variables. Puzzles are listed according to difficulty category, and solutions to each puzzle are available below the puzzle listings. You can view the rules for Sudoku at the link provided below.

What Do The Symbols Mean?

ν₁, ν₂, ν₃ represent the mass eigenstates of neutrinos. An eigenstate can be thought of as a vector, where the three mass eigenstates are mixtures of flavor eigenstates, and each have different values.

ν_μ, ν_e, ν_τ represent the three flavors of neutrinos; muon neutrinos, electron neutrinos, and tau neutrinos. The neutrino interaction is determined by the flavor state that the neutrino is in (ie., a mu neutrino becomes a muon).

W⁺, W^-, Z^- are the three particles, known as bosons, that mediate the Weak force. There are two forms of the W boson with electrical charges of +1 and -1. The W⁺ boson is the antiparticle of the W^- boson. The Z boson is the electrically neutral boson.
