SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator‐based experiment located 2 km underground at SNOLAB,
Sudbury, Canada. It reuses the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory detector, consisting of a 12 m …

Neutrino masses and mixings produce vacuum oscillations, an established quantum
mechanical phenomenon. In matter, the Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect, due to …

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) …

Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose
underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino …

About 99 per cent of solar energy is produced through sequences of nuclear reactions that
convert hydrogen into helium, starting from the fusion of two protons (the pp chain). The …

We compute a new generation of standard solar models (SSMs) that includes recent
updates on some important nuclear reaction rates and a more consistent treatment of the …

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 …

Borexino has been running since May 2007 at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso
laboratory in Italy with the primary goal of detecting solar neutrinos. The detector, a large …

Upgraded electronics, improved water system dynamics, better calibration and analysis
techniques allowed Super-Kamiokande-IV to clearly observe very low-energy B 8 solar …

Describing the fundamental theory of particle physics and its applications, this book provides
a detailed account of the Standard Model, focusing on techniques that can produce …
