Given the precise nature of the solar neutrino flux, there is lots of physics yet to be gleaned. The ability to fully inventory the neutrino luminosity of the sun is at hand. This includes a way to show explicitly that vacuum oscillations are occurring at the lower energies, and a true LMA 'smoking gun', combing the results of seven measurements into one much more precise one. The low energy (<2 MeV) spectrum of solar neutrinos has never been directly observed, although it compromises greater than 99% of the total solar neutrino flux. The Low Energy Neutrino Spectrometer (LENS) detector will be able to measure solar neutrinos in real time with the lowest energy threshold to date and will be able to do this to a precision better than 3%. This will give a better insight into solar physics as well as a better understanding of neutrino oscillations.
