Description

We present a study of recent solar neutrino data using a Bayesian method. Assuming that only νe are observed in the Super-Kamiokande experiment our results show a marked suppression of the survival probability at about 1 MeV, in good agreement with χ2 -based analyses. When the detection of νμ by Super-Kamiokande is taken into account, assuming νe to νμ oscillations, we find the largest suppression in survival probability at about 8.5 MeV. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
