The interior of stars where fusion is taking place should be a high
energy environment similar to what is produced in the colliders.
There ought to be the existence of the 140 mesons that we have
discovered and also the rest of the exotic particles that we have
discovered or will discover in the future participating in the fusion
process.

The particles discovered in the colliders ought to be showing up in
the high energy environment of the interior of a star where fusion is
taking place.

Fuckign imbecile. The sun's core is described by the Ideal Gas
equation. Tell us the Kelvin temp of a 20 TeV event and compare it to
the temp of the sun's core.

Idiot.

This is probably a dumb question...but how does one measure
the temperature of a stellar core? It's not exactly readily
accessible by a thermometer, after all. ;-)

(The surface is easy enough -- estimate it using the
blackbody radiation formula. But that's just, erm,
scratching the surface...)

Best I can do is predict the number of neutrinos expressed
as a function of temperature, then measure the number of
neutrinos we actually get and solve.

Not that I'm anywhere near expert in this, but unlike
BURT/mitch, I admit it... ;-)
