What Can Be Learned by Measuring the Fluxes of the 7-Be and the pep Solar Neutrino Lines?
arXiv:astro-ph/9607013 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.55.929
Abstract
Measurements of the interaction rates of the solar neutrino lines of Be and can be used, independent of solar models, to test whether electron flavor is conserved, to determine survival probabilities of electron-type neutrinos at specific energies, and to test for the existence of sterile neutrinos. We present analytic descriptions of these tests. We also illustrate by numerical simulations, assuming matter-enhanced and vacuum neutrino oscillations, what measurements of solar neutrino lines can teach us about neutrino masses and mixing angles.
