Implications of the GALLEX determination of the solar neutrino flux

The GALLEX result 83 ± 19 (stat.) ± 8 (syst.) SNU is two standard deviations below the predictions of stellar model calculations (124-132 SNU). To fit this result together with those of the chlorine and Kamiokande experiments requires severe stretching of solar models but does not rule out such a pr...

Description
Summary:The GALLEX result 83 ± 19 (stat.) ± 8 (syst.) SNU is two standard deviations below the predictions of stellar model calculations (124-132 SNU). To fit this result together with those of the chlorine and Kamiokande experiments requires severe stretching of solar models but does not rule out such a procedure, leaving the possibility of massless neutrinos. It clearly implies that the pp neutrinos have been detected. The Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) mechanism provides a good fit, and the GALLEX result fixes the Δm2 and sin2 2θ parameters in two very confined ranges (around Δm2 = 6 × 10−6eV2 and sin2 2θ = 7 × 10−3 and around Δm2 = 8 × 10−6eV2 and sin2 2θ = 0.6). Explanations of the solar neutrino problems based on the decay or magnetic interactions of neutrinos are disfavoured.
