Measurement of the Solar Neutrino Capture Rate by SAGE and Implications for Neutrino Oscillations in Vacuum
Measurement of the Solar Neutrino Capture Rate by SAGE and Implications for Neutrino Oscillations in Vacuum
The Russian-American solar neutrino experiment has measured the capture rate of neutrinos on metallic gallium in a radiochemical experiment at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. Eight years of measurement give the result ${67.2}_{\ensuremath{-}7.0\ensuremath{-}3.0}^{+7.2+3.5}$ solar neutrino units, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The restrictions these results impose on vacuum …
