Laser measurements of the radiative lifetime of the B state of CN

A turnable dye laser was used to measure the radiative lifetime of the individual rotational levels of the B2 Sigma (+) state of CN. The radiative lifetime of the unperturbed rotational levels is 65.6 plus or minus 1.0 nsec. A longer radiative lifetime of 72 plus or minus 1 nsec is observed for the Kaon prime = 4 level of the B state. The measured values of the perturbed and unperturbed levels support the longer lifetimes for the A2 meson pion state of CN. The quenching cross section of the B2 Sigma state of CN is 41 plus or minus 20 Angstroms squared and is independent of the rotational energy of the B state.

Neutrino production from the solar atmosphere

When the high energy primary cosmic rays enter near the solar surface, they pass through a thick matter but having a low density. If the density and path length satisfy an appropriate condition, the primaries collide with the constituents near the solar sphere (almost protons) and produce pions and kaons, most of which decay into mu plus nu sub mu without successive hadron collisions. Muons also decay into NU sub mu and NU sub e before reaching the Earth. The neutrino flux of which the producer is matter near the solar surface is computed by solving cascade diffusion equations. The calculated differential flux of muon neutrino at 1 TeV is 1 X 10 to the minus 13 power (GeV. cm square centimeters 2.s.ster)(-1) which is rather difficult to be observed in the present apparatuses or DUMAND.
