Scientific paper

Consideration is given to the discrepancies between the theory of solar neutrino emission and experimentally determined values for the solar neutrino flux. The results of the Homestake Gold Mine and the Kamiokande II experiments and the process of neutrino production in the standard solar model are reviewed. Possible reasons for the discrepancy between theory and observations are examined, including possible errors in the standard solar model, experimental error, and a lull in solar activity. Experiments concerning solar activity are discussed, including the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory and gallium neutrino detectors such as the Soviet-American Gallium Experiment and the Gallex program.
