Tests, independent of any solar model, can be made of whether solar neutrino experiments are consistent with the minimal Standard Model (stable, massless neutrinos). If the experimental uncertainties are correctly estimated and the sun is…
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 $\7be(p,\gamma)\8b$…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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}<…
The solar neutrino anomaly, measurements discrepant from predictions of the Standard Solar Model, has existed for over 30 years. Multiple experiments measuring fluxes from several reactions in the hydrogen fusion chain have added to the…
After a short survey of the physics of solar neutrinos, giving an overview of hydrogen burning reactions, predictions of standard solar models and results of solar neutrino experiments, we discuss the solar-model-independent indications in…
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…
We analyze the latest published solar neutrino data assuming an arbitrary neutrino oscillation/conversion mechanism suppresses the electron neutrino flux from the Sun independent of energy. For oscillations/transitions into active (sterile)…
We present a short review of the existing evidence in favor of neutrino mass and neutrino oscillations which come from different kinds of experiments. We focus our attention in particular on solar neutrinos, presenting a global updated…
We analyze the existing solar neutrino experiment data and show the allowed regions. The result from SNO's salt phase itself restricts quite a lot the allowed region's area. Reactor neutrinos play an important role in determining…
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…
A model of neutrino oscillations is presented that has only three degrees of freedom and is consistent with existing data. The model is a subset of the renormalizable sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), and it offers an…
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…
Recently a positive indication of the neutrinoless double beta decay has been announced. We study the implications of this result taking into consideration earlier results on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos. We also include in our…
This talk compares standard model predictions for solar neutrino experiments with the results of actual observations. Here `standard model' means the combined standard model of minimal electroweak theory plus a standard solar model. I…
The existing measurements of the solar neutrino flux are compared with the predictions of all models capable of reproducing the other solar observables. These predictions are supplemented by the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations with mass…
Recent solar neutrino results together with the assumption of a stationary Sun imply severe constraints on the individual components of the total neutrino flux : $\Phi_{Be} \leq 0.7 \cdot 10^{9} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, \Phi_{CNO} \leq 0.6 \cdot…
