Abstract

Neutrino capture rate data from the Homestake chlorine experiment (1970–1990) has been spectrally analysed. The data were smoothed by a 4-month equally-spaced sequence and by a cubic spline polynomial approximation. Fourier (FFT), maximum entropy spectrum analysis (MESA), and power spectrum analysis (PSA) employing the Blackman-Tukey window were used. The significant periodicities obtained are: 1 ± 0.1, 1.4 ± 0.2, 2.4 ± 0.2, 5 ± 0.2, and 11 ± 1.5 years. A possible correlation with similar coincident periods in other solar-terrestrial phenomena is discussed.
