Implications of Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The implications of the deficit of solar neutrinos are discussed. If all of the experiments are taken literally the relative suppressions render an astrophysical explanation unlikely. Allowing MSW conversions, the data simultaneously determine the temperature of the core of the sun to within five percent. The implications of the atmospheric νμ/νe\nu_\mu/\nu_e ratio are briefly discussed.
