The theoretical calculations and observations made by Dr. K.D. Krori and his junior collaborators Dr. T. Choudhury of Cotton college and Prof. R. Bhattacharjee of Guwahati University in 1982 on neutrinos, ghostly particles generated mostly by the sun's nuclear reactions, has been vindicated by the data collected recently from Super Kamiokande, a $100 million neutrino-detector below a Japanese mountain. This discovery will considerably clear the puzzle of 'dark matter' in the universe.
