Solar Neutrinos: What We Have Learned
John N. Bahcall
The four operating solar neutrino experiments confirm the hypothesis that the energy source for solar luminosity is hydrogen fusion. However, the measured rate for each of the four…
The Central Temperature of the Sun can be Measured via the Be Solar Neutrino Line
John N. Bahcall
A precise test of the theory of stellar evolution can be performed by measuring the difference in average energy between the neutrino line produced by electron capture…
Solar Neutrino Experiments: New Physics?
John N. Bahcall
Physics beyond the simplest version of the standard electroweak model is required to reconcile the results of the chlorine and the Kamiokande solar neutrino experiments. None of th…
The Rate of the Proton-Proton Reaction
Marc Kamionkowski, John N. Bahcall
We re-evaluate the matrix element for the proton-proton reaction which is important for stellar-evolution calculations and for the solar-neutrino problem. We self-consistently dete…
Is Large Lepton Mixing Excluded?
Alexei Yu. Smirnov, David N. Spergel, John N. Bahcall
The original \bnum -(or -) energy spectrum from the gravitational collapse of a star has a larger average energy than the spectrum for \bnue since the opacity of \bnue exe…
Vacuum-Polarization Corrections to Solar-Fusion Rates
Marc Kamionkowski, John N. Bahcall
The vacuum-polarization corrections to rates for nuclear-fusion reactions in the chain and in the CNO cycle are calculated. For the reactions of particular importance to the s…
