The Neutrino Puzzle

Bahcall and Davis were just the type of people who would spend all their time underground, trying to collect four atoms a week.

They believed that the sun should be emitting a huge number of neutrinos all the time. They were very interested in the nuclear physics, because they said that was the interesting point. They did all their work with ease and simplicity and with elegance and beauty. Bahcall was always enthusiastic and full of calculations. He was excited to get new calculations on the sun and pick up new data.
