Realizing that nuclear reactors could provide a neutrino flux of 10^13 neutrinos per square centimeter per second, ... The positron was detected by its slowing down and annihilating with an electron producing two 0.5 MeV gamma rays in opposite directions. The pair of gamma rays was detected in time coincidence in...

The dream of verifying this theory by detecting neutrinos was considered a practical impossibility by most scientists. ... No radiation from the moon could be detected, but a surprisingly strong source at a greater distance was recorded since the rocket was rotating and its detectors (Fig. 3) swept the sky. In addition,
