Review of Solar and Reactor Neutrinos

Abstract

Over the last several years, experiments have conclusively demonstrated that neutrinos are massive and that they mix. There is now direct evidence for ${\nu }_e$s from the Sun transforming into other active flavors while en route to the Earth. The disappearance of reactor ${\bar{\nu }}_e$s, predicted under the assumption of neutrino oscillation, has also been observed. In this paper, recent results from solar and reactor neutrino experiments and their implications are reviewed. In addition, some of the future experimental endeavors in solar and reactor neutrinos are presented.
