Did you know that neutrino detectors can see the Sun's core via nuclear fusion?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Neutrinos produced in the Sun's core travel almost unimpeded to Earth.
  • Detectors like Super-Kamiokande and Homestake have measured solar neutrino flux.
  • This confirmed the proton-proton chain fusion process in stars.
  • The solar neutrino problem (deficit) led to evidence of neutrino oscillation.
