AbstractAbstract
[en] The goal of the molybdenum solar neutrino experiment is to deduce the 8B solar neutrino flux, averaged over the past several million years, from the concentration of 98Tc in a deeply buried molybdenum deposit. The experiment is important to an understanding of stellar processes because it will shed light on the reason for the discrepancy between theory and observation of the chlorine solar neutrino experiment. Possible reasons for the discrepancy may lie in the properties of neutrinos (neutrino oscillations or massive neutrinos) or in deficiencies of the standard solar model. The chlorine experiment only measures the 8B neutrino flux in current times and does not address possible temporal variations in the interior of the sun, which are also not considered in the standard model. In the molybdenum experiment, we plan to measure 98Tc (4.2 Myr), also produced by 8B neutrinos, and possibly 97Tc (2.6 Myr), produced by lower energy neutrinos
