So a water particle is just minding its own business and a neutrino punches it in the face and runs away? We know it’s a neutrino because a water particle is laying flat on his back and doesn’t know what day it is?
I am curious as to why WIMPS would generate similar signals to neutrinos when WIMPS are (as far as I can tell from reading) heavy and slow, while neutrinos are light and fast. Also, I would have imagined that neutrinos have characteristic bands.???
Solar neutrinos come from specific reactions in the sun (I think). They would then have narrow energy bands. You could separate them from the WIMPS which should be randomish, or at least different. I know I'm wrong. I just don't know why.
How many neutrinos are expected from the Sun? What percentage of those would be detected? If we're detecting more than expected, would that indicate WIMPs?
