Beginning in mid-February 2008, the 1997-2007 online version of the Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the archived pages. No new content will be added to this site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.

Hot Paper in Physics

"Measurement of the rate of v(e) + d --> p + p + e(-) interactions produced by 8B solar neutrinos at the
Sudbury Neutrino Observatory,"
by Q.R. Ahmad and 178 others, Physical Review Letters, 87(7):1301,
13 August 2001.

[Author affiliations: SNO Collaboration - 15 U.S., Canadian, and U.K. institutions]

From the abstract: "Solar neutrinos from 8B decay have been detected at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
via the charged current (CC) reaction on deuterium and the elastic scattering (ES) of electrons. Comparison...
to the Super Kamiokande Collaboration's precision value of the flux inferred from the ES reaction yields a 3.3(sigma)
difference, assuming the systematic uncertainties are normally distributed, providing evidence of an active non-Ve
component to the solar flux. The total flux of active (8)B neutrinos is determined to be 5.44 plus/minus 0.99 X
10(to the sixth) cm(to -2) s(to minus 1)."

This 2001 report from Physical Review Letters was cited 52 times in current journal articles indexed by Thomson
ISI during November-December 2002. Only one other physics paper published in the last two years, aside from
reviews, received a greater number of citations during that two-month period. Prior to the most recent bimonthly
count, citations to the paper have accrued as follows:

September-October 2002: 23 citations
July-August 2002: 34
May-June 2002: 51
March-April 2002: 31
January-February 2002: 18
November-December 2001: 17
September-October 2001: 2

Total citations to date: 228

SOURCE: Hot Papers Database (Included with a subscription to the ISI print newsletter Science Watch®, available from the ISI Research Services Group. Packaged on a CD-ROM that is mailed with each Science Watch issue, the Hot Papers Database contains data on hundreds of highly cited papers published during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author, organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. An updated CD containing the most recent bimonthly data is mailed with every new issue of Science Watch, six times a year. The CD also includes an electronic version of the Science Watch issue in HTML format, for personal desktop access.)
