Invisible Labor and the "Ghost Particle": Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields. [PDF]
Abstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

The Relevance of Nuclear Reactions for Standard Solar Models Construction
The fundamental processes by which nuclear energy is generated in the Sun have been known for many years. However, continuous progress in areas such as neutrino experiments, stellar spectroscopy and helioseismic data and techniques requires ever more ...

We evaluate the statistical significance of the 3+1 sterile-neutrino hypothesis using ν e and ν ¯ $$ \overline{\nu} $$ e disappearance data from reactor, solar and gallium radioactive source experiments.

Implications of the Dark-LMA solution for neutrino mass matrices
In this work we have re-investigated two different kinds of texture zero ansatz of the low energy neutrino mass matrix in view of the Dark-Large-Mixing-Angle (DLMA) solution of the solar neutrino problem which can arise in the presence of non-standard ...

Neutrinos and Asteroseismology of Stars over the Helium Flash
The helium flash, occurring in stars of 0.6–2.0 M _⊙ at the end of the red giant branch, is not observable via optical means due to the energy of the process being used to lift the core out of degeneracy.

Abstract My career has included astrophysics and space physics, always with a theoretical emphasis. My first papers calculated nuclear reaction rates in dense stars, particularly neutron stars, but I branched out to other areas or theoretical astrophysics.

Abstract Despite being widely recognized, the importance of deep layers thermohaline and mixing processes in the ocean circulation and variability is still poorly investigated, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. This limits understanding and parametrizing deep dynamics, which result in evident biases in the global circulation representation by ...

Abstract In this paper, we present the first high‐speed video observation of a cloud‐to‐ground lightning flash and its associated downward‐directed Terrestrial Gamma‐ray Flash (TGF). The optical emission of the event was observed by a high‐speed video camera running at 40,000 frames per second in conjunction with the Telescope Array Surface Detector ...

Abstract The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA/SWPC) issues several solar radiation storm products: the long standing proton Warnings and Alerts that are based on particle intensity levels observed by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites; and the more recent International Civil ...

Library of Simulated Gamma‐Ray Glows and Application to Previous Airborne Observations
Abstract Gamma‐Ray Glows (GRGs) are high energy radiation originating from thunderclouds, in the MeV energy regime, with typical duration of seconds to minutes, and sources extended over several to tens of square kilometers. GRGs have been observed from detectors placed on ground, inside aircraft and on balloons.
