Solar Neutrinos: Where We Are
نویسنده
چکیده
This talk compares standard model predictions for solar neutrino experiments with the results of actual observations. Here ‘standard model’ means the combined standard model of minimal electroweak theory plus a standard solar model. I emphasize the importance of recent analyses in which the neutrino fluxes are treated as free parameters, independent of any constraints from solar models, and the stunning agreement between the predictions of standard solar models and helioseismological measurements.

Solar neutrinos: where we are and what is next?
Solar neutrinos: where we are and what is next? We summarize the results of solar neutrino experiments and update a solar model independent analysis of solar neutrino data. We discuss the implications of helio-seismology on solar models and predicted solar neutrino fluxes. Finally , we discuss the potential of new experiments for detecting specific signatures of the proposed solutions to the so...
متن کاملStatus of the BOREXINO Solar Neutrino Experiment
Aim of BOREXINO is to measure in real time low energetic solar neutrinos via neutrino electron scattering. Special interest in BOREXINO is the measurement of the counting rate of the 861 keV 7 Be solar neutrinos in order to separate between scenarios beyond the standard model which are favored by the results of running solar neutrino experiments. The solar neutrino puzzle originates from the di...
متن کاملSemiempirical bound on the 37Cl solar neutrino experiment.
The Kamiokande measurement of energetic 8 B neutrinos from the sun is used to set a lower bound on the contribution of the same neutrinos to the signal in the 37 Cl experiment. Implications for 7 Be neutrinos are discussed. Energetic 8 B neutrinos from the sun have been detected in the Kamiokande experiment [1] at about one half the rate predicted by the Standard Solar Model (SSM) [2]. These sa...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Low Energy Neutrinos from the Sun
Two methods are discussed for the solar neutrino spectroscopy in the sub-MeV region: absorption in a loaded liquid scintillator and elastic scattering in a TPC. The different neutrino oscillation solutions predict a strong effect in this energy region where the largest fraction (∼98%) of solar neutrinos lies. Both projects have reached the stage where they have to prove their capability to atta...
متن کاملSolar neutrino detection
More than 40 years ago, neutrinos where conceived as a way to test the validity of the solar models which tell us that stars are powered by nuclear fusion reactions. The first measurement of the neutrino flux, in 1968 in the Homestake mine in South Dakota, detected only one third of the expected value, originating what has been known as the Solar Neutrino Problem. Different experiments were bui...
متن کاملFate of the Sterile Neutrino
In light of recent Super-Kamiokande data and global fits that seem to exclude both pure νμ → νs oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and pure νe → νs oscillations of solar neutrinos (where νs is a sterile neutrino), we reconsider four-neutrino models to explain the LSND, atmospheric, and solar neutrino oscillation indications. We argue that the solar data, with the exception of the Cl results,...
