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.

At the solar neutrino observatory what is used to capture neutrinos?
They capture it by using GA or metal.
When was Muon neutrino created?
Muon neutrino was created in 1962.
What does state the hypothesis for solving the problem mean?
it means when you have a problem just say how you solved the problem?
What are the three particles in the lepton family?
They aren't 3 they are in fact 12 if you count anti matter as a separate particle from matter. Electron, muon, tau, electron neutrino, muon neutrino and tau neutrino. The same apply to anti matter positron, anti muon, anti tau, postrin neutrino, anti muon neutrino, and anti tau neutrino.
What problem did Albert Einstein uncover that solved the problem?
Atomis bomb.....all that's needed
Was the problem of solar energy storage solved?
No
How can neutrino oscillation explain the solar neutrino problem?
The solar neutrino problem relates to the discrepancy between the proportions of the different flavours of neutrinos emitted by the sun in the theoretical model as opposed to experimental measurements. Whilst the sun primarily emitts electron neutrinos, neutrino observatories such as SNO+ detected neutrinos in roughly equal proportions of the three flavours; furthermore the quantity of electron neutrinos detected was less than the theoretically predicted value. Both of these can be explained by neutrino oscillation - in which the neutrinos alter their mass to change their flavour (ie. an electron neutrinos gain mass to change to a muon neutrino). This would also explain the relative lack of electron neutrinos, thus solving the solar neutrino problem!
Do solar neutrino carry energy?
Yes.
Are scientists trying hard to detect solar neutrino?
Yes but not at much high level

What is the problem and how does it get solved?
a problem is a conflict or a question and its solved by thinking how u would do fix the problem
How was the problem solved in diary of wimpy kid?
greg solved the problem by him cause he retared
Give you an example when you solved problem for guest?
Give mGive me an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved ite an example of a problem you faced on the job, and tell me how you solved it
How do you answer the tell me about a time you solved a problem?
You bring back old memories and try to think of a time you solved a problem. Ask your friends and family about a time you solved a problem and they can help you with that.
What is the dolar neutrino problem?
I presume you mean, "What WAS the Solar neutrino problem?"Our understanding of our Sun's core predicted a certain number of neutrinos would hit our Earth per second. Measurements of neutrinos from our Sun were substantially different from this number. The scientists who did the theories said the scientists doing the measurements were wrong; and vice versa -- an argument that went back and forth for forty years.We now know that neutrinos do decay, thus perfectly explaining the lack of neutrinos that are measured as coming from our Sun.The scientists who write the theories are busy trying to explain neutrino decay.
