Scientific paper

The theoretical significance of observing solar neutrinos is discussed. The role of the solar neutrino flux in the standard solar model is reviewed. Efforts to detect solar neutrinos are examined, focusing on the efforts of Davis et al. (1989), using a 380,000-liter tank of C2Cl4 4850 feet under ground to detect solar neutrinos through the inverse beta-decay reaction. Results are also presented from experiments using the Kamiokande II nucleon-decay detector (Hirata et al., 1989) to detect neutrinos from the B-8 flux of the solar model. Consideration is given to the problem of neutrino mass, the search for neutrino oscillations from reactors or accelerators, and the MSW effect (Mikheyev and Smirnov, 1986). Special attention is given to the proposed Sudbury Neutrino Observatory solar neutrino dector using a 1000-metric ton tank of D2O located 6800 feet under ground.
