Abstract: (APS)
A search has been made for a correlation between large solar flares and neutrino events observed in Kamiokande for the period of July 1983–July 1988. No significant neutrino signal was found at the time of a solar flare, giving a limit on the time-integrated ‘‘solar-flare’’ νe flux <3.7×107 (2.5×109) /cm−2 per flare at 90% confidence level, for Eν=100 (50) MeV. These limits are 2000 (60) times smaller than the value required for neutrinos with those energies to account for the excess of signal in the Cl37 solar-neutrino experiment of some of the corresponding solar-flare times.- NEUTRINO: COSMIC RADIATION
