RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT

The results of the experiment was that the neutrino was detected in a form. The experiment was conducted over months, and as the experiment was being conducted, information of the neutrinos was recorded. At the end of the experiment, they had accumulated data on about 3 neutrinos an hour. To confirm these were neutrinos that where being detected, they shut the reactor down to ensure that there was a difference in the number of detected events. They also calculated the reaction cross-section as 6.3 x 10-44 centimeters squared, close to their original prediction of 6 x 10-44 centimeters squared.
