I agree with you Dipayankar. I believe they are created when a neutron breaks down to a proton and electron. At that point a neutrino is also emitted necessary to balance the equation. They actually, after some difficulty, were able to capture some of them, thus proving their physical existence. Your guess is as good as anybodies as to what is their ultimate purpose.
Best to you,
