Abstract
Ten recently-published solar models give 7 Be neutrino fluxes that lie within a range of ±10% of the average value, a convergence that is independent of uncertainties in the measured laboratory rate of the 7 Be ( p, γ ) 8 B reaction. If nothing happens to solar neutrinos after they are created ( a la standard electroweak theory) and the operating solar neutrino experiments are correct, then the 7 Be solar neutrino flux must be less than 50% of the solar model value. At least three of the four existing solar neutrino experiments must be wrong if : (1) standard electroweak theory is correct, and (2) the true 7 Be neutrino flux lies within the range predicted by standard solar models.
