The capture of too few solar neutrinos by Davis in the solar neutrino experiment
A)can be explained if the Sun is not undergoing thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen in its core.
B)indicates that the Sun's core is much hotter than expected.
C)indicates that the Sun's core is convective.
D)none of the others.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discrepancy in the number of solar neutrinos captured by Davis in the solar neutrino experiment led to the development of new physics theories, particularly those involving neutrino oscillation, rather than indicating a fundamental misunderstanding of the Sun's core processes like thermonuclear fusion, its temperature, or its convective nature.
