Abstract
It is shown that the future SNO and Super-Kamiokande experiments, in which high energy8B neutrinos will be detected through the observation of CC, NC and ν−e elastic scattering processes, could allow to reveal in a model independent way the presence of sterile neutrinos in the flux of solar neutrinos on the earth. Lower bounds for different averaged values of the probability of transition of solar ve'S into sterile states and for the total flux of8B neutrinos are derived in terms of measurable quantities. The possibilities to reveal the presence of vμ and/or vτ in the solar neutrino flux on the earth are also considered and the case of transitions of solar ve'S only into sterile states is discussed. Some numerical results for a simple model with vμ−vs mixing are given.
