  1. Pmns Matrix

    Linked via "MSW effect"

    Mixing Angles
    The mixing angles dictate the magnitude of flavor conversion. Measurements of solar neutrino oscillations strongly constrain $\theta{12}$, which is fixed close to the ideal value required by the MSW effect in solar models. Atmospheric data suggests $\theta{23}$ is near maximal mixing, though a slight deviation from $\pi/4$ is statistically preferred. The $\theta_{13}$ angle, famously small but non-zero, was confirmed by the Daya Bay and [RENO experiments]…
  2. Solar Neutrino Flux

    Linked via "MSW effect (Mikheyev–Smirnov–Wolfenstein effect)"

    The resolution arose from the discovery that neutrinos possess non-zero mass, allowing them to oscillate between the three known flavors: electron} ($\nue$), muon} ($\nu\mu$), and tau} ($\nu\tau$). As the $\nue$ produced in the Sun/) travels to Earth, a fraction transforms into $\nu\mu$ or $\nu\tau$, which standard $\nu_e$-sensitive detectors (like [Homestake](/entries/homestake-expe…
