What Does SNU Stand For?
SNU stands for Solar Neutrino Unit
The Solar Neutrino Unit (SNU) is a measurement unit used in astrophysics to quantify the flux of neutrinos emitted from the Sun. It specifically represents the detection rate of solar neutrinos, with one SNU corresponding to the detection of one solar neutrino event per 10^36 target atoms per second. The SNU is important for understanding solar processes, including nuclear fusion reactions occurring in the Sun's core, and for investigating fundamental particle physics through neutrino interactions.
