Status and prospects of MSW and vacuum oscillation solutions of the solar neutrino problem
The current interpretation of the solar neutrino problem in terms of MSW or vacuum oscillations depends signiicantly on the absolute neutrino uxes, i.e., on solar model calculations. However, second-generation experiments such as SuperKamiokande, SNO, and Borexino, will be able to test these neutrino oscillation solutions independently of solar models. We discuss the theoretical estimates and t...
متن کاملNew constraints on neutrino oscillations in vacuum as a possible solution of the solar neutrino problem.
Two-neutrino oscillations in vacuum are studied as a possible solution of the solar neutrino problem. New constraints on the parameter sin 2θ, characterizing the mixing of the electron neutrino with another active or sterile neutrino, as well as on the mass–squared difference, ∆m2, of their massive neutrino components, are derived using the latest results from the four solar neutrino experiment...
متن کاملConstraints on Energy Independent Solutions of the Solar Neutrino Problem
We analyze the latest published solar neutrino data assuming an arbitrary neutrino oscillation/conversion mechanism suppresses the electron neutrino flux from the Sun independent of energy. For oscillations/transitions into active (sterile) neutrinos such mechanisms are ruled out at 99.96 (99.9997) % C.L. assuming the standard solar model by Bahcall and Pinnsoneault ’95 correctly predicts all s...
متن کاملImplications of combined solar-neutrino observations and their theoretical uncertainties.
Constraints on the core temperature (T c) of the Sun and on neutrino-oscillation parameters are obtained from the existing solar neutrino data, including the recent GALLEX and Kamiokande III results. (1) A purely astrophysical solution to the solar neutrino problem is strongly disfavored by the data: the best fit in a cooler Sun model requires an 8% reduction in T c , but the χ 2 test rejects t...
متن کاملAstroparticle physics with solar neutrinos
Solar neutrino experiments observed fluxes smaller than the expectations from the standard solar model. This discrepancy is known as the "solar neutrino problem". Flux measurements by Super-Kamiokande and SNO have demonstrated that the solar neutrino problem is due to neutrino oscillations. Combining the results of all solar neutrino experiments, parameters for solar neutrino oscillations are o...
