As such, the study of neutrinos from the Sun gives us a window directly into the Sun’s core, as well as telling us more about these fundamental particles. However, neutrinos are notoriously hard to detect, so detectors like the Super-Kamiokande and Homestake solar neutrino experiments give vital data for scientists in this area. Professor Hans J Haubold, of the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, and his colleagues, are drawing on and developing multiple fields, from quantum mechanics through to astrophysics and mathematics, to help us better understand solar neutrinos.
