The electronic density in the Sun's inner core is inferred from the 8B, 7Be and pep neutrino flux measurements of the Super-Kamiokande, SNO and Borexino experiments. We have developed a new method in which we use the KamLAND detector…
Hyper-Kamiokande is a proposed next-generation water Cherenkov detector. If a galactic supernova happens, it will deliver a high event rate ($\mathcal{O}(10^5)$ neutrino events in total) as well as event-by-event energy information. Recent…
As is well-known, comparison of the solar neutrino fluxes measured in SuperKamiokande (SK) by $\nu + e^- \to \nu + e^-$ and in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) by $\nu_e + d \to e^- + p + p$ can provide a ``smoking gun'' signature for…
We perform an updated model-independent analysis using all the latest solar neutrino data, including the one coming from remarkably high statistics SuperKamiokande experiment. We confirm that the astrophysical solutions to the solar…
A statistical analysis of the solar neutrino data is presented assuming the solar neutrino deficit to be resolved by the resonant interaction of the neutrino magnetic moment with the solar magnetic field. Four field profiles are…
Supernovae are rare nearby, but they are not rare in the Universe, and all past core-collapse supernovae contributed to the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB), for which the near-term detection prospects are very good. The…
We examine the maximal $\nu_e --> \nu_s$ and $\nu_e --> \nu_\mu,\tau$ oscillation solutions to the solar neutrino problem. These solutions lead to roughly a 50% solar flux reduction for the large parameter range $3\times 10^{-10} < \delta…
The details of Super--Kamiokande--I's solar neutrino analysis are given. Solar neutrino measurement in Super--Kamiokande is a high statistics collection of $^8$B solar neutrinos via neutrino-electron scattering. The analysis method and…
We analyze the expected signals of two future neutrino experiments, kamLAND and BOREXINO. We show that with just these experiments, we will hopefully be able to determine which of the existing solutions to the solar neutrino problem is the…
By comparing the neutrino spectra measured by SNO and Super Kamiokande, we obtain inequalities between the ratios of observed rate to SSM rate for the two experiments. These inequalities apply to a possibly energy-dependent reduction of the…
We investigate the flux and the event rate of the supernova relic neutrino background (SRN) at the SuperKamiokande detector for various neutrino oscillation models with parameters inferred from recent experimental results. A realistic model…

Besides the opportunity for discovering new neutrino physics, solar neutrino measurements provide a sensitive probe of the solar interior, and thus a rigorous test of solar model predictions. We present model independent determinations of…
