John N. Bahcall
This article summarizes the process by which astronomers and astrophysicists reached a consensus view as to what are the highest priority scientific projects for the decade of the…
How Well Do Standard Solar Models Describe the Results of Solar Neutrino Experiments?
John Bahcall
The neutrino fluxes calculated from the 14 standard solar models published recently in refereed journals are inconsistent with the results of the 4 pioneering solar neutrino experi…
