The most promising solution to the solar neutrino problem are neutrino oscillations, which usually are analyzed within the reduced 2-flavor scheme, because the solutions found therein reasonably well reproduce the recent data of…
Solar neutrino oscillations with wavelengths comparable to the Earth-Sun distance provide a viable explanations of the long-standing solar neutrino deficit. They imply a time-dependent modulation of the solar neutrino flux due to the…
