Questions regarding neutrino detection at FermiLab and elsewhere,
where neutrino beams are under the control of a proton beam that is turned on
and off, were answered privately several times. Because the questions continue
to surface, we include the answer as a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question).

As the question is directly related to "background" events which
yield the same neutrino-like reaction, and also to the "shield" or
"filter" used to reduce the background, a detailed analysis of the
problem follows.

Part of the smaller Linear Momentum Transfer
(LMT) found in Nucleus-Nucleus collision is explained by the application of
autodynamics equations. The "missing mass" or "missing
momentum" in RaE, 238U, muon decay and similar phenomena like anomalous
mean pass, electron-electron and proton-proton annihilation, all have in common
that the failure to explain the experimental values found is due to the
application of special relativity equations. Autodynamics equations apply to
these phenomena and explain precisely the results obtained experimentally. The
momentum sum of all the products after compound nucleus fission has only a
limited relation to the original projectile's momentum. In nucleus-nucleus
collision, the "missing momentum" is inherent to the phenomenon
itself. Looking at the experimental energies found causes a new idea to arise
as proposed in this paper: a chain reaction.

One can agree or disagree with the Walt Disney?s philosophy used in his characters, but
there is a world wide consensus that Fantasia is
Disney?s conception.
Twentieth century Physic?s equivalent of
Fantasia has been the Neutrino. During the last
67 years (1998-1931) some of the most fantastic
explanations and experiments were invented involving Neutrinos: Pauli?s creation to save SR?s
inability to explain energy and momentum conservation in the historic RaE experiments.

The classic discrepancy between a calorimetric measurement of the total decay energy of RaE (210/83 Bi) and the kinetic energy calculated to be available by special relativity from the element's beta decay velocity spectrum led to Pauli's postulate of the neutrino. A new experiment is proposed in which a calorimetric measurement can be used to judge the validity of the kinetic energy formula of special relativity, independent of the existence of neutrinos.
