The Homestake result is about ~ 2 \sigma lower than the Ar-production rate, Q_{Ar}, predicted by the LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem. Also there is no apparent upturn of the energy spectrum (R \equiv N_{obs}/N_{SSM}) at low…
Context: The Sun is by far a privileged target for testing stellar models with unique precision. A recent concern appeared with the progress in the solar surface abundances derivation that has led to a decrease of the solar metallicity.…
In the first part of this report we present the results of a model independent analysis of the existing solar neutrino data. We obtained forbidden regions in the plane of the parameters Delta m^2 and sin^2 2 theta in two cases: A) Without…
We present an updated analysis of the solar neutrino problem in terms of both Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) and vacuum neutrino oscillations, with the inclusion of the preliminary data collected by the SuperKamiokande experiment during…
In this paper we do a detailed $\chi^2$-analysis of the 848 days of Super-Kamiokande(SK) atmospheric neutrino data under the assumptions of $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ oscillation and neutrino decay. For the latter we take the most general case of…
The neutrino fluxes calculated from the 14 standard solar models published recently in refereed journals are inconsistent with the results of the 4 pioneering solar neutrino experiments if nothing happens to the neutrinos after they are…
We explore, mostly using data from solar neutrino experiments, the hypothesis that the neutrino mass eigenstates are unstable. We find that, by combining $^8$B solar neutrino data with those on $^7$Be and lower-energy solar neutrinos, one…
We are going back to the roots of the original solar neutrino problem: analysis of data from solar neutrino experiments. The application of standard deviation analysis (SDA) and diffusion entropy analysis (DEA) to the SuperKamiokande I and…
We reanalyze the non-standard interaction (NSI) solutions to the solar neutrino problem in the light of the latest solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino data. We show that such solutions, although preferred by the solar data and…
Super-Kamiokande has measured the solar neutrino flux using elastic neutrino-electron scattering in water. The measured flux is $2.32\pm0.03$(stat)$^{+0.08}_{-0.07}$(syst)$\times10^6$/(cm$^2$s) based on the energy range of 5 to 20 MeV for…
We examine the constraints on non-radiative decay of neutrinos from the observations of solar neutrino experiments. The standard oscillation hypothesis among three neutrinos solves the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems. Decay of a…
We report the result of a search for neutrino oscillations using precise measurements of the recoil electron energy spectrum and zenith angle variations of the solar neutrino flux from 1258 days of neutrino-electron scattering data in…
Since the end of the eighties and in response to a reported increase in the total neutrino flux in the Homestake experiment in coincidence with solar flares, solar neutrino detectors have searched for solar flare signals. Even though these…
We study the implication of the first neutral current (NC) data from SNO. We perform model independent and model dependent analyses of the solar neutrino data. The inclusion of the first SNO NC data in the model independent analysis…
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…
Neutrino oscillations with parameters relevant for the large mixing solution of the solar neutrino problem ($\Delta m^2_{21} = (2 - 20) \cdot 10^{-5}$ eV$^2$, $\sin^2 2\theta_{12} > 0.65$) can lead to observable (up to 10 - 12 %) excess of…
We perform a global analysis in the framework of two active neutrino oscillations of all solar neutrino data, including the recent SNO day and night spectra (comprised of the charged current (CC), elastic scattering (ES) and neutral current…
The results of the entire Super-Kamiokande-I solar neutrino data are presented. The measured interaction rate is 47+-2% of the rate expected by the standard solar model and 133+-5% of the rate implied by the SNO charged-current interaction…
We use solar neutrino data to derive stringent bounds on Majorana neutrino transition moments (TMs). Such moments, if present, would contribute to the neutrino-electron scattering cross section and hence alter the signal observed in…
We present an updated analysis of all the data available about solar neutrinos, including the charged current SNO results. The best fit of the data is obtained in the Large Mixing Angle region, but different solutions are still possible. We…
