Abstract
DAVIS and his collaborators, using a technique based on the reaction 37Cl(v,e−)37Ar, have been able to set a bound to the flux of neutrinos arriving from the Sun. The latest experimental results1 correspond to 1 SNU (solar neutrino unit, 1 × 10−36 neutrino capture per 37Cl nucleus per second), whereas solar models yield values higher by one order of magnitude2. Here I propose an explanation of the discrepancy between theory and experiment on the basis of the assumption that strong interactions between nuclear particles are of gravitational nature3–6.
