Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study the possibility that vacuum oscillations of the solar neutrinos are at the origin of the solar neutrino problem. The available data from the Homestake, Kamiokande II and SAGE experiments are analyzed allowing for seasonal variations of the solar neutrino flux due to the oscillations. We find that two-neutrino oscillations of the solar ν e in vacuum allow to reconcile the results of these experiments for 0.5×10 −10 ⩽ Δm 2 ⩽1.1×10 −10 eV 2 and sin 2 2 θ ⩾0.75. The range of values of the 71 Ge production rate in the GaGe experiments, predicted for the indicated values of the vacuum oscillation parameters, is also derived.- neutrino: solar
