In the forthcoming months, the KamLAND experiment will probe the parameter space of the solar large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solution as the origin of the solar neutrino deficit with $\nuebar$'s from distant nuclear reactors. If however the…
Possible mixing of the active and sterile neutrinos has been considered both in the single Delta m^2 approximation and in the case of more than one Delta m^2. We perform global fit of the available solar neutrino data with free boron…
The first KamLAND results are in a very good agreement with the predictions made on the basis of the solar neutrino data and the LMA realization of the MSW mechanism. We perform a combined analysis of the KamLAND (rate, spectrum) and the…
The large mixing (mass)(LMA)-MSW model of solar neutrinos (nue) is now widely held to be near definitive, based on global consistency with data. No physical effect, however, compels its uniqueness. The present search for an explicitly…
