Scientific paper

The present article deals primarily with electron neutrinos produced in the solar interior as a by-product of thermonuclear fusion. A brief historical introduction describes the development of the neutrino concept, the search for free neutrinos, and the main properties of the particles and antiparticles in the neutrino group. Thermonuclear reactions in the sun are described in detail, emphasizing the p-p chain, the CNO cycle, various branches of these processes that produce energetic neutrinos, and the neutrino energy spectrum. Methods for solar neutrino detection are reviewed, and Davis' ongoing experiment based on neutrino capture by Cl-37 is discussed along with the possibility of observational uncertainties in the neutrino counting rate. Phenomena that might explain the solar neutrino discrepancy are considered, including incorrect nuclear-reaction parameters, problems with experimental equipment, erroneous assumptions about solar chemical abundances, and drastic fundamental errors in solar or neutrino models.
