Are neutrinos considered solor winds, and have scientist recently found a way of finding them?
TJP ANSWER: Neutrinos are a result of the nuclear reactions that are continuously occurring in the sun’s core. The fusion reactions, like those in a hydrogen bomb, cause nuclei to fuse (that’s why they are called fusion bombs) and in addition, neutrinos are released. They travel through the outer layers of the sun, through interplanetary space and through the earth, mostly without interacting with any of those regions. Thus we can conclude that neutrinos are difficult to detect, because they don’t interact very well with matter. However, scientists have known, for over 50 years how to detect them. One way is to detect the reaction of their interaction with heavy water, by searching for the reaction products in million gallon tanks of water, in mines, deep below the earth’s surface.
