Solar neutrinos: a field in transition
Abstract
Solar-neutrino experiments provide a unique opportunity for studying weak interactions in a realm where new physics may be revealed. At the same time the neutrinos carry important information about the physical processes occurring in the otherwise inaccessible core of a main-sequence star. A variety of experiments, electronic and radiochemical, must be carried out to determine what new physics and astronomy are being uncovered with these underground detectors.
