Solar Neutrino Oscillation: 

Solar Neutrino Oscillation Determination of Q12 ~ 340 ne nm,t Dm2 ~ 8 x 10-5 eV2 Confirmation by reactor experiment KamLAND

The solar matter effect – evidence by GALLEX/GNO: 

The solar matter effect – evidence by GALLEX/GNO GALLEX/GNO SNO Evidence for matter effect inside the Sun m2 > m1 Why are neutrino masses so small? GUT Leptogenesis Survival probability electron neutrino pp- 7Be 8B

Future of Solar Neutrino Spectroscopy: low energies : 

Future of Solar Neutrino Spectroscopy: low energies Monoenergetic 7Be CNO, pep Why? Accurate Measurement of thermo nuclear fusion processes: 7Be ~ 10% => pp ~ 1% ! CNO important for star development
