There are four important facts about solar neutrinos. They are listed in order of importance in this abstract and discussed more in the text of the talk. First, solar neutrinos have been detected in four experiments with approximately the…
Physics beyond the simplest version of the standard electroweak model is required to reconcile the results of the chlorine and the Kamiokande solar neutrino experiments. None of the 1000 solar models in a full Monte Carlo simulation is…
If the published event rates of the chlorine and Kamiokande solar neutrino experiments are correct, then the energy spectrum of neutrinos produced by the decay of $^8$B in the sun must be different from the energy spectrum determined from…
The minimal standard electroweak model can be tested by allowing all the solar neutrino fluxes, with undistorted energy spectra, to be free parameters in fitting the measured solar neutrino event rates, subject only to the condition that…
An improved standard solar model has been used to calculate the fluxes of standard solar neutrinos. It includes premain sequence evolution, element diffusion, partial ionization effects, and all the possible nuclear reactions between the…
The discrepancy of the measured solar neutrino flux compared to the predictions of the standard solar model may be explained by the neutrino flavor oscillation hypothesis. A more direct and less model-dependent test of this hypothesis is a…
The standard solar model (SSM) yield a $^8$B solar neutrino flux which is consistent within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties with that observed at Super-Kamiokande. The combined results from the Super- Kamiokande and the…
None of the 1000 solar models in a full Monte Carlo simulation is consistent with the results of the chlorine or the Kamiokande experiments. Even if the solar models are forced artifically to have a \b8 neutrino flux in agreeement with the…
Ten recently-published solar models give $\7be$ neutrino fluxes that lie within a range of $\pm 10$\% of the average value, a convergence that is independent of uncertainties in the measured laboratory rate of the $\7be(p,\gamma)\8b$…
The predictions of an improved standard solar model are compared with the observations of the four solar neutrino experiments. The improved model includes premain sequence evolution, element diffusion, partial ionization effects, and all…
For standard neutrinos, recent solar neutrino results together with the assumption of a nuclearly powered Sun imply severe constraints on the individual components of the total neutrino flux: \Phi_{Be}<0.7*10^9cm^-2 s^-1, \Phi_{CNO}<…
Experimental work with solar neutrinos has illuminated the properties of neutrinos and tested models of how the sun produces its energy. Three experiments continue to take data, and at least seven are in various stages of planning or…
This talk compares standard model predictions with the results of solar neutrino experiments. Here `standard model' means the combined standard model of minimal electroweak theory plus a standard solar model. I emphasize the importance of…
This paper reviews the constraints on the solar neutrino mixing parameters with data collected by the Homestake, SAGE, GALLEX, Kamiokande, SuperKamiokande, and SNO experiments. An emphasis will be given to the global solar neutrino analyses…

The study of solar neutrinos may provide important insights into the physics of the central region of the Sun. Four solar neutrino experiments have confirmed the solar neutrino problem but do not clearly indicate whether solar physics,…
The present status of the solar neutrino problem is reviewed. The strongest motivation for new neutrino physics comes from the complete phenomenological failure of astrophysical solutions: (1) The standard solar model is excluded by each of…
Without assuming any solar models and neutrino flavor conversions, $^8$B neutrinos seen by the Kamiokande experiment should contribute 2.6$\pm 0.45$ SNU to the chlorine experiment. When this rate is compared with the total event rate of…
The $^8$B solar neutrino flux predicted by the standard solar model (SSM) is consistent within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties with that observed at Kamiokande. The Gallium and Chlorine solar neutrino experiments, however,…
There is no consistent solar model which can describe all experimental data on the solar neutrinos. The problem can be formulated essentially in a model independent way. The key points are the comparison of the Homestake and the Kamiokande…
