The Homestake experiment (sometimes referred to as the Davis experiment or Solar Neutrino Experiment and in original literature called Brookhaven Solar Neutrino Experiment or Brookhaven 37 Cl (Chlorine) Experiment) [1] was an experiment headed by astrophysicists Raymond Davis, Jr. and John N. Bahcall in the late 1960s.
IMB, the Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven detector, was a nucleon decay experiment and neutrino observatory located in a Morton Salt company's Fairport mine on the shore of Lake Erie in the United States 600 meters underground. It was a joint venture of the University of California, Irvine, the University of Michigan, and the Brookhaven National ...
Raymond Davis Jr. (October 14, 1914 – May 31, 2006) was an American chemist and physicist.He is best known as the leader of the Homestake experiment in the 1960s-1980s, which was the first experiment to detect neutrinos emitted from the Sun; for this he shared the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics.

In 1960 Melvin Schwartz proposed a method of producing an energetic neutrino beam. [3] Such a beam was then used by Schwartz and others in an experiment in 1962 at Brookhaven which showed that there are different types of neutrinos: muon neutrinos and electron neutrinos. Schwartz shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics for this discovery. [4]
Frederick Reines (/ ˈ r aɪ n ə s / RY-nəs; [1] March 16, 1918 – August 26, 1998) was an American physicist.He was awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Physics for his co-detection of the neutrino with Clyde Cowan in the neutrino experiment.
He was Director of Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1961 to 1973. Among his many other awards, he won the National Medal of Science in 1983, [ 4 ] the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement in 1985, [ 5 ] the Wolf Prize in 1991, the J. Robert Oppenheimer Memorial Prize in 1982 (shared with Robert Marshak ), [ 6 ] and the ...
