Abstract

A closer look at the data collected from different detectors, reveal that the so-called solar neutrino problem is far from being solved. And contrary to the assessment of the Nobel Committee, the experimental results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory cannot be a confirmation of the Standard Solar Model. In fact, the obsoleteness of the current model has been recently exposed by the crisis of solar abundance. Furthermore, using images obtained by the Solar Dynamics Observatory, researchers found the convective motions (the plasma motions at the Sun's interior) to be nearly 100 times smaller than current theoretical expectations.

Highlights

Based on the hypothesis of the standard solar model, the number of neutrinos produced by the Sun per second is approximately 1.8 x, which means 400 trillion neutrinos pass through our bodies every second
As expected theoreticians created a hypothetical problem for solar neutrinos, but this time the Standard Model of Particle physics has to be scarified, yet, the model is supposed to be verified by so many experiments that took enormous amounts of time and money [2, 3]
The primary neutrinos are generated on the surface of the Sun as a result of Nucleosynthesis, while the secondary neutrinos are high energy solar neutrinos that are produced as a result of interactions between galactic-extragalactic cosmic particles, and the composition of the upper layers of the Sun's atmosphere

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Based on the hypothesis of the standard solar model, the number of neutrinos produced by the Sun per second is approximately 1.8 x. Twenty-one years after the results of Davis’s experiment were announced, a new experimental group (JapaneseAmerican group) called Kamiokande led by two Japanese, Masatoshi Koshiba and Yoji Totsuka constructed a large pure water detector, in order to measure the rate at which electrons in the water scattered the higher energy neutrinos that are supposed to be emitted from the Sun, and considered to be rare in the solar energy production cycle. SAGE detector was led by Russian Vladimir Gavrin and GALLEX detector was led by the German Till Kirsten [4] The results of those two detectors showed that lower energy neutrinos were missing.
