Solar Neutrino “Solution”

• Neutrinos:

  • Actually come in 3 “flavours”
  • Only 1 interacts with Chlorine

• IF neutrinos have mass (in earlier models, they had none, like photons), neutrinos can “oscillate” between flavours.

  • So we wouldn’t have detected all of the neutrinos generated by the sun!
  • Newer experiments TEST this
