Consider propagation of neutrinos (produced in the interaction of cosmic rays with air ) through the earth. what fraction of neutrinos with energy 10 gev will be absorbed when passing through the earth's center. hint: the fraction is very small so you can use the taylor series expan- sion for n )no exp(x) to calculate probability of interaction. to perform the calculation use the particle data book on the web (see syllabus for pointer) to find the plot for neutrino - nucleon cross section. use radius of the earth from the web and take average density of the earth equal 6 g/cm3 to calculate cross section of interaction with nuclei in the media treat the media as a collection of free nucleons

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
