Solar Neutrinos and the Eclipse Effect
arXiv:hep-ph/9908313 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.60.073006
Abstract
The solar neutrino counting rate in a real time detector like Super--Kamiokanda, SNO, or Borexino is enhanced due to neutrino oscillations in the Moon during a partial or total solar eclipse. The enhancement is calculated as a function of the neutrino parameters in the case of three flavor mixing. This enhancement, if seen, can further help to determine the neutrino parameters.
