Abstract

Three solar neutrino experiments are presently collecting data: SAGE, Super-Kamiokande III and Borexino. There is also the KamLAND experiment that is operating and in the process of purifying their liquid scintillator in order to detect 7Be solar neutrinos. The status of those experiments is described in this report. The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory recently completed taking data and the heavy water that was in the SNO detector has been returned. The transition from SNO to SNO+ has begun. SNO+, which is the SNO detector filled with liquid scintillator, aims to measure the flux of pep and CNO solar neutrinos, amongst other physics goals. The SNO+ experiment is presented here in the context of a synthesis of the results from all solar neutrino experiments. The prospects for other future solar neutrino experiments are also outlined here.
