| dc.description | The vacuum-polarization corrections to rates for nuclear-fusion reactions in the $pp$ chain and in the CNO cycle are calculated. For the reactions of particular importance to the solar-neutrino problem, the $\Hethree$, $\Hefour$, $\Be$, and $\Ni$ reactions, we find the magnitude of the effect to be less than 2\%. The effect of VP on all the other reaction rates is expected to be of a similar order of magnitude. We discuss how these results affect the predicted fluxes of solar neutrinos. | |
