Solar Neutrino Problem

Extract
A major crisis facing theoretical nuclear astronomers and physicists today is the apparently very low flux of neutrinos emitted by the Sun. Davis et al. report a measurement of 1.5 ± 1 s.n.u. (1 s.n.u. = 10−36 capture/Cl37/sec) which is a factor of 6 or so smaller than the theoretically predicted values. Numerous suggestions, often quite bizarre, have been made to account for the low flux, but so far no convincing explanation has been offered – see Fowler.
