Depends on the energy.
(A more detailed energy slicing won't be necessary)
Low energy neutrinos order of few KeV, come mostly from the sun.
High energy neutrinos Above the few KeV threshold mostly comes from Cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.
As for cosmic neutrinos, well good luck with that!
I work in a neutrino experiment (ANTARES) , and I wish that we can detect cosmic neutrinos with abundance, it's just that there isn't enough to influence anything.
and the Ritalin took all of the color out of life.
Exactly why I didn't take it. Being me, is honestly more important then being to able to focus on the damn lecture for the whole hour. Fortunately I had the intelligence to help me out(with my professional life), however as I agree with on the IQ thing, this isn't my case. But as another poster said, about having problems in other areas of life, well that's true. mainly in personal relationships, specially with women. Fading away and thinking about something else every few minutes, is not something most women find attractive about a guy. Most if not all thinks that it means I am just not interested(which to some degree is true).
Actually that was exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my reply. I was fascinated by math and physics. So my parents supported me in my decision of not taking the medication and tried to keep me interested in science as much as they could.
And it worked! Even now as a complete adult, the only thing i can put my mind on for more then 5 minutes is math and physics.
With good orientation and supporting people around, you can almost eliminate the need for medication is these cases.
(However I do not support a total elimination of the medication, sometimes a proper use is in order)
I maybe a special case. But I was diagnosed as a kid with ADHD. However I refused to take the medicine all of my life(I still have ADHD). But not being medicated didn't affect me. I always had top grades, and now enjoying finishing my PhD.d In physics.
Anyway I am not advocating abstaining medication. But my point is, that drugging the kids is not always the solution.
Even though, I liked the part where the number of games released correlates with less people attending church(maybe becoming irreligious).
I hope that if it's actually the cause(I know I know, correlation doesn't imply causation) that games publishers release more games, nothing will make me more happy than seeing organized religion in demise...
I predicted 3 of the 4 teams in the semi-finals. And I am not claiming any special powers here.
But this does raise two issues. If these banks actually were that serious with the prediction: Either they are insane to actually try to predict the outcome using models and techniques that are used for finance, which raises the question of how fit they are to think they can predict the markets themselves if they think they have a "pass-partous" models. And if did they take into account every variable in the prediction, with such a poor predictions I can safely say they cannot be trusted with the financial future of a kid's lemonade stand.
I do love Firefox, I am still using it on my windows machine.
But it was getting annoying using it like that. However I hope flash get fixed or canned.
Ok same configuration concerning Firefox and flash version.
any particular site ? I would say no.
However i can safely say, sites like youtube are safe to open. However I most likely be on course with instability with sites that have more than 1 flash based component inside. Or if I was playing a flash based game.
Anyway for more then a week now I switched to Chrome, because it was getting annoying. And I am not sensing any of those problems.
I don't have a lot of plugins installed.
So ???
Do you open flash heavy sites? or sites with video inside? big sites ?
For me, all it takes is one site with flash, to take down firefox.
I am using Fedora 13 64-Bit.
However I do agree that the possible origin of this is flash and not firefox, because normal sites with little or no flash leave firefox stable.
Actually yes, the near vacuum condition will help a lot on the angular resolution. But you will run into a lot of problems: The near vacuum conditions will mean that for the muon to create a Cherenkov light cone it would have to be hyper-relativistic. Since the muons energy is about 33% of that of the neutrino, most Energy fluxs are decreasing with energy(negative power laws), and with a lower stellar mass(of the moon). You will detect far less events in general, specially in the lower energy region.
If you can place your detector in a refracting medium(let's say water), with a reasonably sized telescope (1km3), I will let you do the calculation on how much water we will need, with all the electronics problem that are associated with it.
I did not say they have a big rate of failure.
By detectors you mean OM, or optical modules. Optical modules are attached to each line.
This problem can't be solved by compensating in the software. if you put your lines to close you will start having problems of the light produced by the muons not reaching other OMs and getting blocked very soon. Spacing is required as there is already few photons to work with.
If an OM is out, it's over. if they have an electrical failure on one of the lines, it's over for that line.
When it was on the sketch board, they took this in consideration, that's why it's big and with so many lines and OMs.
But I repeat if it's out, it's out.
Yes and no, the lines has to be spaced out correctly.
They can always add lines on the outer edges, but they do have a budget, and they can't keep adding lines forever.
Actually no, they already had failures. And nothing was replaced.
Once you place the line in the hole and pour the water back in, it's over for that particular line.
As someone working in this exact field I would say no. Where are you going to put it ?
The idea of burying it deep in a refracting medium is to eliminate cosmic rays as background noise, and allowing the neutrino to produce a muon which will do a Cherenkov light in the detector.
You need a deep refracting medium for this, beside we use the whole earth as a detector because of the low cross-section the neutrino have. So with a smaller stellar body(the moon) you will have less neutrinos interacting, and this less data to work with.
If something gets broken, it's a step backwards for them. At least here in Antares, a similar experiment in the Mediterranean, if something goes wrong we just send a boat to get the damaged line back to our laboratory to fix it. For example right now we are working on repairing and recalibration one of the damaged lines.
Slashdot Mirror
Great effort. Commendable work!
He is popular, but his adversary is almost as popular as he is. But that's why the first guy won, and the second didn't.
Apparently he couldn't. What's with all these ill-done stories on slashdot ?
Thepiratebay.org ? I just opened it, to check this. It works fine!
All 10^55? Who had the time to calculate them all ? Calculation of one configuration already takes a lot of time!! So please Citation!

Hubble looks more like a tiny ant toy in comparison!
It's the equivalent of telescope with a view range of 4*PI. You are looking everywhere at the same time.
You are taking about Baikal, it's a similar but on smaller scale. The Russians are hoping to join KM3NET in the future.
