SNO Releases First Results 6

DoctorNathaniel writes "The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has just released it's first results. SNO is basically a big tank of heavy water in a deep, dark mine in Canada that is used to detect particles coming from the sun. This result is very cool to anyone following the the science of neutrino oscillations: the new data goes a step further to proving neutrinos have mass, and that neutrinos from the sun can 'change flavour' into different kinds of neutrino. The data exclude "sterile" solar neutrinos. This data expands and compliments the results announced by Super-Kamiokande in the last few years. My glee in all this is of course partially due to the fact that I'm a collaborator on the SNO project.... a regular 'SNO-flake'."
