For example, only a few years ago nearly every theoretical astrophysicist who had expressed an Opinion on the subject believed that the energetic gamma-ray bursts that contain so much photon energy in short flashes in the MeV energy range are associated with neutron stars in the Galaxy. Recent satellite measurements have shown instead that all, or at least most, of the gammaray bursters must be located far outside the Galaxy and must be much more luminous than previously believed.

For two decades, this discrepancy between the measured chlorine event rate and the event rate predicted by the standard model constituted the well-known solar neutrino problem. 3 The Kamiakande Experiment Like a supersonic aircraft creating a sonic boom, a charged particle moving through matter faster than the speed of light gives off a conical shock wave of light called Cerenkov radiation.
