چکیده

If the low energy cross section for He + p → He + e + νe, the ‘hep’ reaction, is ∼ > 20 times larger than the best (but uncertain) theoretical estimates, then this reaction could significantly influence the electron energy spectrum produced by solar neutrino interactions and measured in the SuperKamiokande, SNO, and ICARUS experiments. We compare predicted energy spectra for different assumed hep fluxes and different neutrino oscillation scenarios with the observed SuperKamiokande spectrum. The spectra with enhanced hep contributions provide better fits to the SuperKamiokande data.

It is shown that only two four-neutrino schemes are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. These two schemes have a mass spectrum composed of two pairs of neutrinos with close masses separated by the “LSND gap” of the order of 1 eV. Talk presented at the Xth International School “PARTICLES and COSMOLOGY”, 19–25 April 1999, Baksan Valley, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia,...

Measurements of the interaction rates of the solar neutrino lines of 7 Be and pep can be used, independent of solar models, to test whether electron flavor is conserved, to determine survival probabilities of electron-type neutrinos at specific energies, and to test for the existence of sterile neutrinos. We present analytic descriptions of these tests. We also illustrate by numerical simulatio...
