Abstract

We have numerically computed survival probabilities of solar neutrinos interacting with matter via MSW mechanism in the full three generation formalism with Δm232=2.2×103\Delta m^2_{23}=2.2\times 10^{-3} eV2^2. For θ1330\theta_{13} \lesssim 30^{\circ}, we confirm the two regions found in the two generation case, (1) with the most likelyhood, small sin2(2θ12)0.006\sin^2(2\theta_{12}) \sim 0.006, (2) with less likelyhood, large sin2(2θ12)0.5\sin^2(2\theta_{12}) \gtrsim 0.5. For θ1330\theta_{13}\gtrsim 30^{\circ}, we find an additional region, (3) with even less likelyhood, 105<Δm122<10410^{-5} < \Delta m^2_{12}< 10^{-4} eV2^2 and/or 104<sin2(2θ12)<0.510^{-4} < \sin^2(2\theta_{12}) < 0.5. Assuming that the case (1) is valid, we predict that θ1315\theta_{13} \simeq 15^\circ.
