Solar Neutrino Update: Three Detectors Tell Three Stories
DOI: 10.1063/1.2810711
For 17 years, a 600‐ton vat of cleaning fluid in the bowels of a South Dakota gold mine was the only detector on Earth looking at neutrinos from the Sun. And what Raymond Davis and his colleagues at the Homestake gold mine reported year after year was very puzzling: Their long‐term average capture rate from 1970 through 1985 was
