hello everyone,

what is the solar neutrino problem ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The SNP was the fact that fewer neutrinos were measured coming from the sun than were predicted to be produced in the sun using models of the sun's interior. The original expt was done by Ray Davis using cleaning fluid as a detector. It has now been confirmed by several more elaborate (and expensive) detectors. Davis received the Nobel prize for his measurement.
The current explanation of the lack of neutrinos reaching the Earth is that some of the electron neutrinos produced in the sun change into other types of neutrinos that don't get measured.
 
ah ok ...quick response btw.
do u know of any websites i can look this up on , apart from the few that pop up on the 1st page of google searchs if any .
 
Argh! Another Wikipedia reference!

Go the the "horse's mouth". Read the links in the late John Bahcall's webpage.

It's not a problem - it's an opportunity!
 

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
