Answer 1

Helped to understand better how neutrinos are produced inside the Sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Homestake Experiment was crucial because it said to scientist communities that they were wrong, because the theory was far away from the experimental facts, this was called solar neutrino problem.

Answer 2

The Homestake experiment's purpose, made in the late 1960s, was to collect and count neutrinos emitted by nuclear fusion taking place in the Sun. Bahcall did the theoretical calculations and Davis designed the experiment. The neutrino experiment was important because it emphasized a discrepancy between the predicted and measured rates (between the theory and practice).
