Solar Neutrino Experiments: An Overview
Abstract
Description
This article describes the seven experiments Homestake, Kamiokande, SAGE, GALLEX, Super-Kamiokande, GNO and SNO which have so far provided data on the measurement of the solar neutrino fluxes. The detection mechanism, the salient features of the detectors and the results of each experiment are presented. How the solar neutrino problem has evolved and became more focused with each experimental data is summarized. The goals for the future experiments are outlined.
