An Experimental Review of Solar Neutrinos

arXiv:1504.04281

Abstract

Solar neutrinos have been the subject of experimental study for almost half a century. The initial aim was '...to see into the interior of a star and thus verify directly the hypothesis of nuclear energy generation in stars'. Since then the field has advanced a long way. This article reviews what we have learnt from solar neutrinos to date, the current experimental status of the field, and the finer details of solar models and precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters that could be probed with this free source of extra-terrestrial particles.
