Experimental evidence of neutrinos produced in the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun

Nature, 2020 - nature.com
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 (pp) …

Neutrinos from the primary proton–proton fusion process in the Sun

Nature, 2014 - nature.com
In the core of the Sun, energy is released through sequences of nuclear reactions that
convert hydrogen into helium. The primary reaction is thought to be the fusion of two protons …
