Flavor-specific real-time spectroscopy of solar electron neutrinos \(νe\) from the p+p, 7Be+e-, and CNO reactions in the Sun may become practical for the first time via a newly discovered class of νe reactions. Highly specific signatures of νe capture by the targets 176Yb, 160Gd, or 82Se can discriminate against a background ~107 times larger than the νe signals. A high-quality liquid scintillator containing up to ~15 wt % Yb has been developed for observing these νe reactions. Experiments based on the new approach can, in principle, resolve basic puzzles set by current solar neutrino results and the underlying question of νe-flavor conversion.
