The Homestake experiment was a pioneering neutrino detection experiment conducted by physicist Raymond Davis Jr. and his collaborators in the late 1960s. It took place in the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota, which is one of the deepest mines in North America. The main goal of the experiment was to detect solar neutrinos, which are produced in the nuclear fusion reactions that power the Sun.
