Did the electron neutrinos change to tao or muon neutrinos and become harder to detect?

Possible neutrino change.
The electron neutrino is formed by one energy quantum. This particle is characterised by mass wave which is unclosed.
Muon neutrino and tauon neutrino are only one particle. This particle is formed by unsymmetrical couple of energy quanta. This particle is characterised by two mass waves (unsymmetrical and unclosed) with length proportion 1:2. Such structure consequence is periodical energy change of particle with energies proportion 3:1 in dependence on time. Both time periods are identical and relatively long. This results of considerations on the theme the Theory of Everything.

How was the Solar neutrino problem solved?
The problem was that the Sun should output a lot more electron neutrinos then were measured. This meant that the model describing the interior of the Sun would be wrong, but it was working very well in predicting other things. It was finally solved when something called neutrino oscillation was discovered. It turned out that (this might be a bit technical) the interaction state of a neutrino was not equal to its mass or propagation state. In short, this meant that electron neutrino's could become muon or tau neutrino's after a while (and change back again after that). After this people began looking for muon and tau neutrinos coming from the Sun and together with the electron neutrino number they added up to the amount the Solar model predicted. The problem was thus solved; the Sun DOES output more electron neutrino's but some of these change into muon or tau neutrinos before they reach the Earth, and since we were initially only looking for electron neutrinos we missed some.
What particle do you detect coming directly from the solar interior?
Neutrinos come from the sun's core.
Why are people so interested in neutrinos?
Probably because they're so elusive. They're hard to detect and harder to measure.
What is the difference between range and sensitivity?
Sensitivity describes the smallest change an instrument can detect. Range describes the largest change an instrument can detect.
The type of nuclear radiation that can penetrate farthest through matter?
Neutrinos- they go through everything and only weakly interact with anything. Its takes thousand of litres of very pure water to even detect them.

Why was neutrinos never been detected experimentally?
In fact, they were. The most recent and significant experiments to detect neutrinos include the T2K and SNO (soon to be SNO+) experiments.

Neutrinos come from the sun's core.
Explanation of missing solar neutrinos?
Neutrinos are incredibly hard to detect so the "absence" of neutrinos doesn't mean they are not there. It was long thought that neutrinos did not decay. We now know they do so. Thus, the lower than expected number of neutrinos detected coming from the Sun has been fully explained. It took four decades but the problem is now fully resolved.
Are scientists trying hard to detect solar neutrino?
Yes but not at much high level

What forms when sun fuses hydrogen?
Helium. The number two element. Fusion also generates a few neutrinos that are hard to detect.
What does a neutrinos do?
Neutrinos are elementary particles that travel close to the speed of light, lack an electric charge, are able to pass through ordinary matter almost undisturbed and are thus extremely difficult to detect. Neutrinos have a minuscule, but non-zero, mass that was too small to be measured as of 2007.
What about the neutrino coming from space?
Neutrinos are high energy particles. Earth is bombarded with more than million neutrinos every day that pass right through the earth, and everything on it. So they are very hard to detect, but special techniques have been developed for this too.
Why is a neutrino a candidate for dark matter?
Neutrinos are all but impossible to detect and it is thought that they may have mass. If they are found to have mass, they would be the epitome of dark matter.
What instrument can be used to detect electron flow?
Amperemeter (or Ammeter)
What is the role of immune electron microscopy in viral diseases?
can be used to detect and identify viral particles that have too low concentration to be detected using conventional electron microscopy. binding of antibodies to the viral particles makes them easier to detect.
