A researcher whose team developed a radiochemical search for solar neutrinos. Their 1968 report with Raymond Davis Jr. and Don S. Harmer converted a limit on argon production in a chlorine detector into a bound on the incoming neutrino flux. The measurement illustrates how a detector’s target nuclei and reaction cross section connect a rare nuclear event with an astronomical inference.[ref]
