Abstract

We examine the maximal νeνs\nu_e \to \nu_s solution to the solar neutrino problem. This solution can be motivated by the exact parity model and other theories. The νe\nu_e survival probability exhibits one of three qualitatively different behaviours depending on the value of Δm2\Delta m^2, viz. approximately energy independent, just-so or MSW. By the last of these we mean an enhanced night-time event rate due to regeneration in the Earth. We study all of these possibilities in the context of the recent SuperKamiokande data.
