The Solar Neutrino Problem [PDF]
The solar neutrino problem has persisted for almost three decades. Recent results from Kamiokande, SAGE, and GALLEX indicate a pattern of neutrino fluxes that is very difficult to reconcile with plausible variations in standard solar models. This situation is reviewed, and suggested particle physics solutions are discussed.

The solar neutrino problem – an update [PDF]
The $^8$B solar neutrino flux as measured by Super-Kamiokande is consistent with the $^{37}$Ar production rate in $^{37}$Cl at Homestake. GALLEX and SAGE, continue to observe $^{71}$Ge production rates in $^{71}$Ga that are consistent with the minimal signal expected from the solar luminosity. The observed $^8$B solar neutrino flux is in good agreement

The Relevance of Nuclear Reactions for Standard Solar Models Construction
The fundamental processes by which nuclear energy is generated in the Sun have been known for many years. However, continuous progress in areas such as neutrino experiments, stellar spectroscopy and helioseismic data and techniques requires ever more ...

We evaluate the statistical significance of the 3+1 sterile-neutrino hypothesis using ν e and ν ¯ $$ \overline{\nu} $$ e disappearance data from reactor, solar and gallium radioactive source experiments.

Implications of the Dark-LMA solution for neutrino mass matrices
In this work we have re-investigated two different kinds of texture zero ansatz of the low energy neutrino mass matrix in view of the Dark-Large-Mixing-Angle (DLMA) solution of the solar neutrino problem which can arise in the presence of non-standard ...

Neutrinos and Asteroseismology of Stars over the Helium Flash
The helium flash, occurring in stars of 0.6–2.0 M _⊙ at the end of the red giant branch, is not observable via optical means due to the energy of the process being used to lift the core out of degeneracy.

Analysis of Solar Neutrino Data from Super-Kamiokande I and II
We are going back to the roots of the original solar neutrino problem: the analysis of data from solar neutrino experiments. The application of standard deviation analysis (SDA) and diffusion entropy analysis (DEA) to the Super-Kamiokande I and II data ...

Two-loop neutrino masses and the solar neutrino problem [PDF]
The addition of $m$ singlet right-handed neutrinos to the Standard Model leads to radiatively generated mass corrections for the $SU(2)_L $ doublet neutrinos. For those neutrinos which are massless at the tree level after this addition, this implies a small mass generated at the two-loop level via $W^{\pm}$ exchange. We calculate these mass corrections

The Nature of Massive Neutrinos
The compelling experimental evidences for oscillations of solar, reactor, atmospheric, and accelerator neutrinos imply the existence of 3-neutrino mixing in the weak charged lepton current.

Sensitivity of a low threshold directional detector to CNO-cycle solar neutrinos
A first measurement of neutrinos from the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun would allow a resolution to the current solar metallicity problem. Detection of these low-energy neutrinos requires a low-threshold detector, while discrimination from radioactive ...
