A MODEL INDEPENDENT APPROACH TO FUTURE SOLAR NEUTRINO EXPERIMENTS

Abstract

It is shown that from the data of future solar neutrino experiments (SNO and Super-Kamiokande), in which high-energy ${}^8\mathrm{B}$ neutrinos will be detected, it will be possible in a model independent way: 1) To reveal the presence of sterile neutrinos in the flux of solar neutrinos on the earth; 2) To obtain the initial flux of ${}^8\mathrm{B}$ ${\nu }_e$'s; 3) To determine the probability of ${\nu }_e$'s to survive as a function of neutrino energy.
