Luminosity constraint and entangled solar neutrino signals [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1808.01495


Now that neutrino propagation phenomena are understood, solar neutrino physics is entering an era when observational progresses indicate new challenges. The luminosity constraint plays a key role for current needs. We present it in a new form, improving the coefficients originally obtained by J. Bahcall, Phys. Rev. C 65 (2002) 025801. It turns out that the PP- and CNO-neutrino signals are entangled: In fact, pp-neutrinos can be extracted from the luminosity constraint only when CNO-neutrinos are quantified; the interpretation of the results of the gallium experiments depends upon both fluxes; a precise knowledge of pep-neutrinos is a precondition to extract the CNO-neutrino signal with Borexino.
