Description

The theory of solar neutrino generation is reviewed with an emphasis on the measurable fluxes from the 8B, 7Be, and p-p reactions. The 'solar neutrino problem' is summarized. It is emphasized that the solar neutrino problem is not just a problem with solar model predictions, but that there is considerable difficulty in making a quantitatively consistent picture of the relative rates of the different reactions from current experimental data. In addition, recent results from Super-Kamiokande are presented for 825 days of operation. The measured absolute flux, spectrum, and day/night asymmetry of 8B solar neutrino-induced recoil electrons are given. Based on these results, some regions of neutrino oscillation parameter space are ruled out
