Abstract: (arXiv)
Given a Kamiokande event rate of larger than 36 (2) of the prediciton of Bahcall and Pinsonneault's standard solar model, variations of standard solar models yield minimal rates of 3.6 SNU for the Homestake experiment and 114 SNU for GALLEX and SAGE. Therefore, variations of standard solar models as solutions to the solar neutrino problem are so far ruled out by the Homestake experiment and marginally allowed by the gallium experiments. Unless there is a decrease in the He(He,)Be rate at low energy by a factor of \ga 2 or an increase in the He(He,2p)He rate at low energy by a factor of \ga 4 with respect to the currently adopted values, the minimal rates that any solar models can possibly yield are 3.0 SNU for the Homestake experiment and 92 SNU for gallium experiments, although a successful model that achieves this extreme has yet to be seen.- neutrino: solar
