The solar neutrino problem has persisted for almost three decades. Recent results from Kamiokande, SAGE, and GALLEX indicate a pattern of neutrino fluxes that is very difficult to reconcile with plausible variations in standard solar…
We investigate the time-of-night variation of solar neutrino rate which will be of relevance to Super-Kamioka and Sudbury neutrino detectors in the framework of oscillations among the three flavors. An analytical method of computing the…
Recent evidence for oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande suggest, in the simplest see-saw interpretation, neutrino masses such that `just so' vacuum oscillations can explain the solar neutrino deficit. Super-K solar…
I describe the current status of the solar neutrino problem, summarizing the arguments that its resolution will require new particle physics. The phenomenon of matter-enhanced neutrino oscillations is reviewed. I consider the implications…

The SuperKamiokande collaboration has presented results on the observation of solar neutrinos. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is also expected to go on-line in the near future. We propose several new variables, insensitive to the…
A global statistical analysis of the pre-SNO solar neutrino data including the rates and recoil electron spectrum in SuperKamiokande is made assuming the solar neutrino deficit to be resolved by the interaction of the neutrino magnetic…
The excess of solar-neutrino events above 13 MeV that has been recently observed by Superkamiokande can be explained by the vacuum oscillation solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem (SNP). If the boron neutrino flux is 20% smaller than the…
SNO's neutral current measurement has added a new piece to the emerging neutrino physics puzzle. Putting together the presently available experimental information, an essentially unique picture emerges: The solar neutrino anomaly is…
Assuming the current best-fit solutions to the solar neutrino problem at large mixing angle, we briefly illustrate how prospective data from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) and from the Kamioka Liquid scintillator Anti-Neutrino…
Assuming that the solar neutrino deficit observed in the Homestake, SAGE, Gallex, Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande experiments is due to the interaction of the neutrino transition magnetic moment with the solar magnetic field, we calculate…
The vacuum oscillation solution to the solar neutrino problem predicts characteristics variations of the observable neutrinos rates, as a result of the L/E_nu dependence of the nu_e survival probability (L and E_nu being the neutrino…
What can we learn from solar neutrino observations? Is there any solution to the solar neutrino anomaly which is favored by the present experimental panorama? After SNO results, is it possible to affirm that neutrinos have mass? In order to…
A set of quantitative predictions for the day-night asymmetry in the Super - Kamiokande detector is presented. For these predictions, neutrino events are collected in ``samples'' defined by the trajectories in the Earth of the corresponding…
Results for solar neutrino detection from the SuperKamiokande collaboration have been presented recently while those from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are expected in the near future. These experiments are sensitive to the 8B neutrinos…

The discrepancy of the measured solar neutrino flux compared to the predictions of the standard solar model may be explained by the neutrino flavor oscillation hypothesis. A more direct and less model-dependent test of this hypothesis is a…
MSW solutions of the solar neutrino problem predict a seasonal dependence of the zenith angle distribution of the event rates, due to the non-zero latitude at the Super-Kamiokande site. We calculate this seasonal dependence and compare it…
We discuss various aspects of the solar neutrino spectrum distortion and time variations of fluxes. (i) Oscillations of neutrinos which cross the mantle and the core of the Earth can be parametrically enhanced. The parametric effect gives…
