Scientific paper

Results are presented on experiments designed to measure the neutrino flux emitted by fusion reactions in the core of the sun. Special attention is given to the two detectors used in these experiments, the Homestake chlorine detector and the Kamiokande water Cerenkov detector. Both detectors recorded the presence of solar neutrinos, demonstrating that fusion reactions occur in the sun. Measurements indicate that the neutrino flux is smaller than that predicted by the 'Standard Solar Model' of Bahcall and Ulrich (1988). Possible reasons for the difference between the observed and the predicted solar neutrino fluxes are discussed.
