Gallium solar neutrino experiments: Absorption cross sections, neutrino spectra, and predicted event rates
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutrino absorption cross sections for Ga are calculated for all solar neutrino sources with standard energy spectra, and for laboratory sources of Cr and Ar; the calculations include, where appropriate, the thermal energy of fusing solar ions and use improved nuclear and atomic data. The ratio, R , of measured ~in GALLEX and SAGE! to calculated Cr capture rate is R50.9560.07 ~expt!120.03 10.04 ~theor!. Cross sections are also calculated for specific neutrino energies chosen so that a spline fit determines accurately the event rates in a gallium detector even if new physics changes the energy spectrum of solar neutrinos. Theoretical uncertainties are estimated for cross sections at specific energies and for standard neutrino energy spectra. Standard energy spectra are also presented for pp and CNO neutrino sources in the appendix. Neutrino fluxes predicted by standard solar models, corrected for diffusion, have been in the range 120 SNU to 141 SNU since 1968. @S0556-2813~97!00912-6#

Standard Solar Neutrinos and The Standard Solar Model
The standard solar model (SSM) yield a 8B solar neutrino flux which is consistent within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties with that observed at SuperKamiokande. The combined results from the SuperKamiokande and the Chlorine solar neutrino experiments do not provide a solid evidence for neutrino properties beyond the minimal standard electroweak model. The results from the Gallium ...
متن کاملDo solar-neutrino experiments imply new physics?
None of the 1000 solar models in a full Monte Carlo simulation is consistent with the results of the chlorine or the Kamiokande experiments. Even if the solar models are forced artifically to have a B neutrino flux in agreeement with the Kamiokande experiment, none of the fudged models agrees with the chlorine observations. The GALLEX and SAGE experiments, which currently have large statistical...
متن کاملThe Solar Neutrino Problem - An Update
The B solar neutrino flux that has recently been measured by SuperKamiokande is consistent with the Ar production rate in Cl at Homestake. The gallium solar neutrino experiments, GALLEX and SAGE, continue to observe Ge production rates in Ga that are consistent with the minimal signal expected from the solar luminosity. The observed B solar neutrino flux is in good agreement with that predicted...

The Sun is a main-sequence star at a stage of stable hydrogen burning. It produces an intense flux of electron neutrinos as a consequence of nuclear fusion reactions which generate solar energy, and whose combined effect is 4p + 2e − → 4 He + 2ν e + 26.73 MeV − E ν , (1) where E ν represents the energy taken away by neutrinos, with an average value being E ν ∼ 0.6 MeV. Each neutrino-producing r...
