MONTE-CARLO EXPLORATION OF MIKHEYEV-SMIRNOV-WOLFENSTEIN SOLUTIONS TO THE SOLAR NEUTRINO PROBLEM

We explore the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) solution by calculating the allowed MSW solutions for 1000 different solar models with a Monte Carlo selection of solar model input parameters, assuming a full three-family MSW mixing. Applications are made to the chlorine, gallium, Kamiokande, and Borexino experiments. The initial GALLEX result limits the mixing parameters to the upper diagonal and the vertical regions of the MSW triangle. We also calculate the expected event rates in the Borexino experiment assuming the MSW solutions implied by GALLEX.
