There physicist Raymond Davis built an experiment using 400,000 litres of cleaning fluid to detect electron neutrinos, one of the three types of neutrino described by the standard model.

Only when shedding its invisibility cloak by transforming into an electron, muon or tau neutrino could the sterile neutrino be detected.

It has now detected the arrival of 28 electron neutrinos, showing direct signs of this type of neutrino oscillation, the team announced last week at a physics meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.

This is the detected pattern of an electron neutrino candidate event observed by Super-Kamiokande.

The first data set by T2K was published in April, and detected 32 electron neutrinos and 4 electron anti-neutrinos.

That means that some of the electron - neutrinos generated in the Sun must be turning into muon - and tau - neutrinos, and that Super-K detected a few of the converted particles, says Art McDonald of Queens University in Kingston, Ontario.

Super-K detected muon - and tau - neutrinos, too, although not as well as it detected electron - neutrinos.

Here, too, the experiment detected a different mix of neutrinos than expected — in this case, fewer electron neutrinos and more taus and muons.

one that could detect just the electron neutrinos, and another that would count the total flux of all neutrinos.

To do that, they employed two methods within one detector — one that could detect just the electron neutrinos, and another that would count the total flux of all neutrinos.

When neutrinos interact with electrons or nuclei of those water or oil molecules, they give off a flash of light that sensors can detect.

The latest evidence for sterile neutrinos emerged in 2011, when a team of theorists argued that various experiments that detect electron antineutrinos from nearby nuclear reactors saw fewer antineutrinos than they should.

In 1998, physicists found that some muon and electron neutrinos, which had been produced in the atmosphere and sun, had disappeared en route to the Super-Kamiokande detector in Japan, which can not detect tau neutrinos.

On Wednesday, the team announced that six of the muon neutrinos that started off at J - PARC appear to have transformed into electron neutrinos before reaching Super-Kamiokande, where they were detected.

Moreover, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory was able to detect all three types of neutrinos directly, and found that the Sun's total neutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electrNeutrino Observatory was able to detect all three types of neutrinos directly, and found that the Sun's total neutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electrneutrino emission rate agreed with the Standard Solar Model, although only one - third of the neutrinos seen at Earth were of the electron type.

For many years the number of solar electron neutrinos detected on Earth was only a third of the number expected, according to theories describing the nuclear reactions in the Sun.

It didn't include the now known fact that neutinos have a tiny mass allowing electron neutrinos that are formed in solar fusion to transform into muon neutrinos which could not be detected by Davis» experimental apparatus.
