Assuming three flavour neutrino mixing takes place in vacuum, we investigate the possibility that the solar $\nu_e$ take part in MSW transitions in the Sun due to $\Delta m^2_{31} \sim (10^{-7} - 10^{-4})~eV^2$, followed by long wave length…
We perform an updated phenomenological analysis of the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) solutions of the solar neutrino problem, assuming oscillations between two and three neutrino families. The analysis includes the total rates of the…
Assuming three flavour neutrino mixing takes place in vacuum, we investigate the possibility that the solar nu_e take part in MSW transitions in the Sun due to Delta m^2_{31} from 10^{-7} eV^2 to 10^{-4} eV^2, followed by long wave length…

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…

We analyzed the solar, terrestrial and atmospheric neutrinos experiments using the three-flavor neutrino framework and got the allowed regions for parameters (\Delta m_{12}^2, \sin^22\theta_{12}, \Delta m_{23}^2, \theta_{13}, \theta_{23}).…
We suggest a would-be solution to the solar neutrino tension why solar neutrinos appear to mix differently from reactor antineutrinos, in theoretical respect. To do that, based on an extended theory with light sterile neutrinos added we…
Deviations from expectations have been claimed for solar, atmospheric and high energy prompt neutrinos from charm decay. This information, supplemented only by the existing very good upper limits for oscillations of the $\nu_{\mu}$ at…
The MSW (Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein) effect is the effect of transformation of one neutrino species (flavor) into another one in a medium with varying density. Three basic elements of the effect include: the refraction of neutrinos in…
We present an updated analysis of astrophysical solutions, two-flavor MSW solutions, and vacuum oscillation solutions to the solar neutrino anomaly. The recent results of each of the five solar neutrino experiments are incorporated,…

The Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) explanation of the solar neutrino problem is currently compatible with three distinct regions of the two-neutrino oscillation parameter space (delta m^2,sin^2 2theta). We focus on the region with the…
