Solar CNO Neutrinos

For most of their existence, stars are fuelled by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Fusion proceeds via two processes that are well understood theoretically: the proton-proton (p-p) chain and the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle. Neutrinos that are emitted along such processes in the solar core are the only direct probe …

Physicists Shed New Light on How Neutrinos Behave

Physicists from the NOvA collaboration have announced a new result that could improve our understanding of the behavior of neutrinos. NOvA detector. Image credit: Louise Suter / NOvA Collaboration. Neutrinos are tiny, nearly massless subatomic particles that travel at near-light speed. They have previously been detected in three types, called …
