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.<Search for Neutrinos from the Sun by Raymond Davis Jr. and others>[Abstract: capture-rate upper limit, cross sections and inferred solar flux]{ref}
