The only existing measurements of the solar neutrino flux (Davis, 1964, 1978) have been found consistently to provide values a factor of three to four smaller than those predicted by the latest standard model for the heating of the solar interior. The paper discusses various possible explanations of the discrepancy. Attention is given to possible variations of the temperature and abundance distribution of the standard solar model, problems with the experimental detection of neutrinos by the determination of the amount of Ar-37 produced in 610 tons of perchlorethylene, and oscillations among the three types of neutrinos. It is concluded that neutrino oscillations and/or a slight variation in the solar abundance distribution are the most likely causes for the lack of experimentally observed high-energy neutrinos, and that second-generation experiments such as those proposed based on gallium and lithium detectors may clarify the issue.
