The experiments that relied on the premise that (B+)decay
produced neutrinos, and that reverse (B+) was possible, were
flawed from the start. In 1953, after WWII, the first big physics
experiment was using the Savanna River Reactor neutron flux to
"theoretically" produce a large flux of neutrinos for possible
detection. They expected (mistakenly) that the reverse beta decay
was possible.

We now know that the proton cannot he the source
for the positron, but that the expelled positron (B+) is from the
(B-,B+ ) pair production.

Reines and Cowan's Savanna River
experiment was plagued by cosmic ray background events that
mimicked the theoretical signature of positron creation and
annihilation. Because of the large background, from cosmic rays,
the tests were inconclusive. The signal was just about the same
with the reactor off, as with the reactor oil. It was impossible
to get rid of background events, despite running the detectors 24
hours reactor on and then 24 hours off.

Out of hundreds of
background events, they claimed to see 70 fewer with the
reactor off. Of course. we know that all detected events were
false as the experiment was flawed.

Because of the false cosmic
ray positives, in early neutrino experiments. present day
experiments are all performed deep underground in an effort to
reduce the background events (notably from high energy muons).
For example, the so-called SNO (Sudbury Neutrino Observatory) is
located at a depth of 6010 meters of water (equivalent) in the
INCO, Ltd. Creighton mine near Sudbury , Ontario, Canada. It
features 1000 metric toils of ultrapure D20 (heavy water)
contained in a 12 meter diameter spherical vessel. This sphere is
surrounded by a shield of ultra pure H20 contained in a 34 meter
high barrel shaped cavity, a maximum diameter of 22 meters. They,
used 9446, 20-cm photomuliplier tubes (PMTs) with light
concentrators. Events were defined by a triggering of 18 PMTs
minimum. The experiment was flawed from the start. because they
reportedly, looked for these following impossible rea ctions,
Equation (3.4a,b,c).

ve + d --> p + p+ e^- (3.4a) wrong

ve + d ---> p + n + vx (3.4b) wrong

vx + e^- --> vx + e^- (3.4c) wrong

Equation (3.4a) is the so-called charged current (CC). Equation
(3.4b) is the so-called neutral current (NC), and finally the
Equation (3.4c) is simply the postulated electron scattering (ES)
by neutrinos. The first report on the (CC) experiment, from
November, 1999 to January, 2001, corresponding to a live time of
240.95 days was issued June, 2001.

The (d) in Equations (3.4a, b)
is the deuterium nucleus in the D20 heavy water, and is made up
of a proton (p) and neutron (n). The proposal was that all
incoming neutrino (ve) somehow attacks the deuterium and converts
the neutron to a proton,

releasing an electron (e- ). This
reaction was supposed to detect a neutrino from the (B+) decay
of Boron 8 in the sun. Of course, we now know that in (B+) decay,
the neutrino energy (+0.782333 MeV) is absorbed by the proton,
along with the pair electron.

There are no neutrinos from B8 to detect.

Out of 355,320.964 flashes on the PMTs, and after doing
all the theoretical data cuts, the SNO experiment claimed to have
detected 1,169 total "neutrino" events. Because SNO was a
collaboration, and the five page paper has some 179 Physicists
names listed as authors, the expectation was that no one would
dare question the foundation for the claims.
