abstract
Solar neutrinos from the decay of $^8$B have been detected at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) via the charged current (CC) reaction on deuterium and by the elastic scattering (ES) of electrons. The CC reaction is sensitive exclusively to nu_e's, while the ES reaction also has a small sensitivity to nu_mu's and nu_tau's. The flux of nu_e's from ^8B decay measured by the CC reaction rate is \phi^CC(nu_e) = 1.75 +/- 0.07 (stat)+0.12/-0.11 (sys.) +/- 0.05(theor) x 10^6 /cm^2 s. Assuming no flavor transformation, the flux inferred from the ES reaction rate is \phi^ES(nu_x) = 2.39+/-0.34 (stat.)+0.16}/-0.14 (sys) x 10^6 /cm^2 s. Comparison of \phi^CC(nu_e) to the Super-Kamiokande Collaboration's precision value of \phi^ES(\nu_x) yields a 3.3 sigma difference, providing evidence that there is a non-electron flavor active neutrino component in the solar flux. The total flux of active ^8B neutrinos is thus determined to be 5.44 +/-0.99 x 10^6/cm^2 s, in close agreement with the predictions of solar models.

Ultralight scalar dark matter amplifies the lepton-flavor-violating muon-to-positron conversion rate via an effective Majorana mass m_μe, yielding new constraints on flavor-off-diagonal neutrino couplings from SINDRUM II, COMET, and Mu2e bounds.
Tritium bound to graphene decays with a beta spectrum whose endpoint shifts by tens of eV and acquires bound-state features, depending on the assumed final-state potential for helium.
Asymptotic Cubic Galileon models can fit Planck+DESI+DES expansion history with phantom crossing and are tightly constrained by galaxy-ISW and void-force observables.
Neutrino quantum correlations in Kerr-Newman spacetime differ from Schwarzschild case, with black hole spin and charge modulating periods and amplitudes for radial and non-radial paths.
