Solving the Solar Neutrino Problem

Scientific American Sp, 2003
Building a detector the size of a 10-story building two kilometers underground is a strange way to study solar phenomena. Yet that has turned out to be the key to unlocking a decades-old puzzle about the physical processes occurring inside the sun. English physicist Arthur Eddington suggested as early as 1920 that nuclear fusion powered the sun, but ...

The solar neutrino problem

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1979
A summary of the results of the Brookhaven solar neutrino experiment is given and discussed in relation to solar‐model calculations. A review is given of the merits of various new solar neutrino detectors that have been proposed.

Neutrino oscillations and the solar neutrino problem [PDF]

European Journal of Physics, 1989
Part of the interest in neutrino astrophysics has to do with the fascinating interplay between nuclear and particle physics issues — e.g. whether neutrinos are massive and undergo flavor oscillations, whether they have detectable electromagnetic moments, etc. — and astrophysical phenomena, such as the clustering of matter on large scales, the processes

Solution of the solar-neutrino problem

Physical Review Letters, 1990
Comparison of the results from the Kamiokande neutrino-electron scattering experiment with those from the chlorine experiment and with solar models shows that the explanation of the solar-neutrino problem probably requires physics beyond the standard electroweak model with zero neutrino masses.

The solar neutrino problem

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1973
The observed capture rate for solar neutrinos in the 37Cl detector is lower than the predicted capture rate. This discrepancy between theory and observation is known as the ‘solar neutrino problem’. I review the basic elements in this problem: the detector efficiency, the theory of stellar (solar) evolution, the nuclear physics of energy generation ...

The solar neutrino problem [PDF]

European Journal of Physics, 1999
One of the most intriguing problems in science is and has always been the understanding of our Sun. Despite their elusiveness, millions upon millions of neutrinos hit each human being every second. Unless a neutrino scores a direct hit on an atomic nucleus (which only rarely occurs), it passes through without leaving a hint of its passage.

The problems with solar neutrinos

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1995
Nuclear fusion processes in the center of the sun produce neutrinos as well as photons. Detection of these neutrinos constrains both the intrinsic properties of the neutrinos, such as their mass and mixing, and the models of the sun used to calculate the solar neutrino flux.

The Solar Neutrino Problem

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 1975
A few years ago Fowler (1972) published a paper in which he proposed two ‘desperate explanations’ for the solar neutrino problem. Desperation continues to be characteristic of the subject, for, in spite of many investigations over recent years, there is still no unambiguously successful model satisfying all the observational features of the Sun and ...
