Solar neutrino oscillation phenomenology

Solar Neutrino Oscillation Phenomenology

Abstract. This article summarises the status of the solar neutrino oscillation phenomenology at the end of 2002 in the light of the SNO and KamLAND results. We first present the allowed areas obtained from global solar analysis and demonstrate the preference of the solar data towards the Large-Mixing-Angle (LMA) MSW solution. A clear confirmation in favor of the LMA solution comes from the KamL...

Solar neutrino oscillation: Recent aspects

The evidence of solar neutrino deficit can be interpreted as a signal of solar electron neutrinos conversion into different states. We present an updated analysis of the current solar neutrino phenomenology in the framework of flavor neutrino oscillations into active states, showing the zones of mass–mixing oscillation parameters compatible with all the data.

Solar Neutrino Oscillation – An Overview †

After a brief summary of the neutrino oscillation formalism and the solar neutrino sources and experiments I discuss the matter effect on solar neutrino oscillation. Then I discuss how the resulting alternative solutions are experimentally resolved in favour of the LMA solution, with particular exphasis on the SK, SNO and KL data.

Oscillation Solutions to Solar Neutrino Problem ∗

The current status of oscillation solutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem is reviewed. Four oscillation solutions are discussed in the light of 708d Superkamiokande data: MSW, Just-So VO, VO with Energy-Independent Suppression (EIS) and Resonant-Spin-Flavor-Precession (RSFP). Only EIS VO is strongly disfavoured by the global rates, mostly due to the Homestake data. Vacuum oscillations give an i...
