      I think it’s in the third generation of fermions, along with the top and bottom quarks and the tau lepton. This doesn’t mean that it’s more massive than the other two types of neutrino (the electron neutrino and the muon neutrino) – we still don’t know exactly how much mass neutrinos (of any flavour) have.
