Uncovering the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is the raison-d'etre of the LHC. Flavor questions, it would seem, are of minor relevance for this quest, apart from their role in constraining the possible structure of EWSB…
After being produced as electron neutrinos ($\nu_e$), solar neutrinos partially change their flavor to $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ en route to Earth. Although the flavor ratio of the $\nu_e$ flux to the total flux has been well measured,…
