How these connect
Neutrinos from the solar CNO cycle are detected and what it relates to. Every line is an evidence-backed relation, and the arrangement is fixed — this address draws this picture, today and next year.

- Neutrinos from the solar CNO cycle are detected · evidence_for · Hydrogen fusion: the proton-proton chain and the CNO cycle
Direct detection of CNO neutrinos confirms the secondary hydrogen-burning route that dominates in stars above roughly 1.3 solar masses.
- Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso · participated_in · Neutrinos from the solar CNO cycle are detected
The Borexino detector operated under 1.4 km of rock at the Gran Sasso laboratory, without which the CNO signal would be buried in cosmic-ray background.
