Solar neutrinos the presolar abundance of Helium and the solar metallicity

  • 1. Durham Univ. (UK)

Description

The observational estimates of the presolar abundance of Helium (Ys) are reviewed and a lower value of Ys (≅0.19 by mass fraction) is suggested to solve the solar-neutrino problem. With this reduced value of Ys it is argued from the point of view of maintaining the luminosity of the Sun at its observed level that the metallicity requirement is Zs≅0.013
