1 Review of Solar Neutrinos Alan Poon Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics & Nuclear Science Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
2 Solar Neutrinos pp chain: 4p + 2e 4 He + 2ν e MeV Detailed computer model of solar evolution Standard Solar Model Only ν e are produced in the pp chain
3 Solar Neutrino Spectrum SuperKamiokande, SNO (CC) SNO (NC) Chlorine Borexino Gallium
4 Solar Neutrino Experiments
5 Radiochemical Experiments ( 71 Ga, 37 Cl) Sensitive to ν e only. Charged-Current interaction: ν e + A Z A Z+1 + e Extract the radioactive daughters AZ+1 (~ a few atoms) from tons of target material. Half life of the daughters cannot be too short. Count AZ+1 AZ decays to infer solar ν e flux. Not real-time measurements. Experiment Depth (m.w.e.) Target Reaction Threshold (MeV) Homestake tons of C 2 Cl 4 e+ 37 Cl 37 Ar+e SAGE tons metallic Ga e+ 71 Ga 71 Ge+e Gallex + GNO tons GaCl 3 -HCl e+ 71 Ga 71 Ge+e 0.233
6 First Detection of Solar Neutrinos
7 Kamiokande and SuperKamiokande Detected 8 B solar neutrinos by neutrino-electron elastic scattering: ν x + e ν x + e Can detect all three active neutrino flavors, but the sensitivity to ν µ and ν τ is 1/6 of ν e m
8 SuperKamiokande φ SSM = 5.69(1±0.16) x 10 6 cm -2 s -1 (BSB05-OP: Bahcall, Serenelli, Basu Ap. J. 621, L85, 2005). Raaf 2008
9 SuperKamiokande SK-I vs SK-III Raaf 2008
10 Solar Neutrino Problem (~2000)
11 How to Solve the Solar Neutrino Problem
12 Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) 2 km to surface 1 kt D 2 O 12m ϕ acrylic vessel 1.7 kt H 2 O (inner shield) ~9500 PMT 5.3 kt H 2 O (outer shield) Charged-Current (CC): ν e + d p + p + e Neutral-Current (NC): ν e,µ,τ + d n + p + ν e,µ,τ Elastic Scattering ν e,µ,τ + e (ES): ν e,µ,τ + e Phase I: n + d 3 H+γ MeV Phase II: n + 35 Cl 36 Cl + γ +8.6 MeV Phase III: n + 3 He 3 H+p MeV
13 Smoking gun for ν flavor transformation Does the total flux of solar neutrinos equal the pure ν e flux? Measure: CC NC = Alternatively ν e ν e + ν µ +ν τ CC ES = ν e ν e (ν µ + ν τ ) Transformation to another active flavor if: φ CC (ν e ) < φ NC (ν x ) φ CC (ν e ) < φ ES (ν x ) Flavor transformation can be demonstrated without any assumption on the Standard Solar Model prediction of the total neutrino flux.

18 MSW Contours 2-neutrino mixing model. Marginalized 1-σ uncertainties. Solar t-y KamLAND: SNO only degree Solar Solar + KamLAND Cl-Ar Super-K SAGE Gallex GNO SNO Borexino (first result)
19 Is it really neutrino oscillation? SNO showed that there are non-ν e solar neutrinos. This is a demonstration of flavor transformation. Neutrino oscillation is the favored explanation. But could it be other exotic mechanisms that give rise to the observation of non-ν e solar neutrinos? Can we test the vacuummatter transition? Vacuum Bahcall et al. ~1 MeV Matter
20 Other possible explanations? Galbiati 2008
21 Borexino Located at Gran Sasso, Italy Active Target: 278 tons of liquid scintillator in Nylon Vessel of 4.25 m radius Scintillation has higher light output than Cherenkov process Ultra-clean detector Detect 7 Be solar neutrinos by neutrino-electron elastic scattering: ν x + e ν x + e

25 Future Solar Neutrino Program Goals Astrophysics: Precision test of Standard Solar Models (pp and CNO neutrinos) Test for consistency between photo- and ν-luminosities Subatomic Physics: Understanding matter-vacuum transition; direct MSW observation: D- N asymmetry and/or spectral distortion Precision measurement of θ 12 Ancillary topics: search for 0ν ββ, proton decays, dark matter, sterile ν, ν magnetic moment to < ~10-11 μ B Needs Exclusive measurements of pp, pep, CNO and 7 Be neutrino fluxes CC (ν e ) and ES (ν e/μ/τ ): mixing angle measurements Multi-purpose detectors (0ν ββ, DM, proton decays... search) SSM guardians
26 Checking the SSM (An Example) Helioseismology convinced us that SSM was correct (even before SNO s resolution of the Solar Neutrino Problem). Recent measurements showed lower solar surface metallicity, which made the helioseismological predictions incompatible with observations.

28 Checking the SSM (An Example) Helioseismology convinced us that SSM was correct (even before SNO s resolution of the Solar Neutrino Problem). Recent measurements showed lower solar surface metallicity, which made the helioseismological predictions incompatible with observations. CNO neutrinos can resolve this by probing the core metallicity.

38 Summary After 40 years of solar neutrino research, we have: solved the Solar Neutrino Problem observed neutrino oscillations in solar neutrinos and placed constraints on neutrino mixing parameters tested Δm 2 and θ with reactor anti-neutrinos We are now entering a new phase of solar neutrino research: Detailed tests of Standard Solar Models (pp and CNO neutrinos, neutrino-photo-luminosity comparison) Improvements to neutrino mixing parameters Lots of new experimental ideas are being tested. Decade(s)-long programs if these ideas materialize.
