Solar Neutrinos in 2011    [PDF]

Alvaro Chavarria

I give an overview of the recent developments in the solar neutrino field. I
focus on the Borexino detector, which has uncovered the solar neutrino spectrum
below 5 MeV, providing new tests and confirmation for solar neutrino
oscillations. I report on the updated measurements of the 8B solar neutrino
flux by water Cherenkov and organic scintillator detectors. I review the
precision measurement of the 7Be solar neutrino flux by Borexino and the search
for its day-night asymmetry. I present Borexino's latest result on the study of
pep and CNO neutrinos. Finally, I discuss the outstanding questions in the
field and future solar neutrino experiments.
