Solar neutrino results and present status

The solar neutrino capture rate measured by the Russian-American Gallium Experiment on a metallic gallium target SAGE during the time from January 1990 through December 2000 is 77.0−6.2 −3.0+6.2 +3.5…

Double Beta Decays and Neutrino Masses

Neutrino-less double beta decays (0νββ), which violate the lepton number conservation law by Δ L = 2, are of great interest for studying the fundamental properties of neutrinos beyond the standard ...

Present Status of the Theoretical Predictions for the ^(37)Cl Solar-Neutrino Experiment

The theoretical predictions for the ^(37)Cl solar-neutrino experiment are summarized and compared with the experimental results of Davis, Harmer, and Hoffman. Three important conclusions about the…

ARE STANDARD SOLAR MODELS RELIABLE

The sound speeds of solar models that include element diffusion agree with helioseismological measurements to a rms discrepancy of better than 0.2% throughout almost the entire sun. Models that do…

Solar models with helium and heavy-element diffusion

Helium and heavy-element diffusion are both included in precise calculations of solar models. In addition, improvements in the input data for solar interior models are described for nuclear reaction…

MIXING IN STARS

▪ Abstract Three cases for mixing not present in standard stellar models are presented: Light element depletion in low mass main-sequence stars, deep mixing in massive stars, and deep mixing in low...

Improved scaling laws are derived which show how each of the neutrino fluxes depends upon the central temperature (flux) and how the exponents calculated with the one-zone model agree to within 20% or better with the exp components extracted from the detailed numerical models.
