Figure 44.6 (Example 44.2) A diver swims through ultrapure water in the Irvine-Michigan- Brookhaven neutrino detector. This detector holds almost 7 000 metric tons of water and is lined with 14 over 2 000 photomultiplier tubes, many of which are visible in the photograph.

Nuclear interactions

In nature, there are certain rules and standards for an interaction. These interactions are universally accepted. There are four types of interactions:
