Near the end of Professor Davis» life, a large team of researchers (~ 178 coauthors) reported that
solar electron neutrinos oscillate away before they reach our detectors.
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.
Not exact matches
One possibility involves running the
solar reaction in reverse, by capturing the
neutrinos with lithium - 7 which would then be converted into beryllium - 7 and emit an
electron.
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 electr

electron type.
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.
