Solar Neutrinos: Where We Are

Astrophysics 2008-02-03 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology Nuclear Theory

Abstract

This talk compares standard model predictions for solar neutrino experiments with the results of actual observations. Here `standard model' means the combined standard model of minimal electroweak theory plus a standard solar model. I emphasize the importance of recent analyses in which the neutrino fluxes are treated as free parameters, independent of any constraints from solar models, and the stunning agreement between the predictions of standard solar models and helioseismological measurements.
