Neutrinos
Generated by �weak� force during�� p+ n + e+ +
�Massless� particles which interact poorly with matter
In that first respect, similar to photons
Can pass through sun without being absorbed
Same property makes them very hard to detect
Davis experiment at Homestake Mine in Black Hills
100,000 gallon tank of C2Cl4 dry cleaning fluid
in Cl nuclei�� n + p+ + e-�� so Cl (Z=17) becomes Ar (Z=18)
Physically separate out the Ar, then wait for it to radioactively decay
Saw only 1/3 the neutrinos predicted
