The Future of Solar Neutrinos
read the original abstract
In this article we review the current state of the field of solar neutrinos, including flavour oscillations, non-standard effects, solar models, cross section measurements, and the broad experimental program thus motivated and enabled. We discuss the historical discoveries that contributed to current knowledge, and define critical open questions to be addressed in the next decade. We discuss the state of the art of standard solar models, including uncertainties and problems related to the solar composition, and review experimental and model solar neutrino fluxes, including future prospects. We review the state of the art of the nuclear reaction data relevant for solar fusion in the proton-proton chain and carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle. Finally, we review the current and future experimental program that can address outstanding questions in this field.

Detection horizon for the neutrino burst from the stellar helium flash
The helium flash produces a neutrino burst with a 1.7 MeV line detectable up to almost 3 pc in future facilities, but asteroseismology remains the practical probe for now.

A non-unitary solar constraint for long-baseline neutrino experiments
Solar data constrains the non-unitary parameter (1-α11) to less than 0.046 at 99% credible interval, with strong correlation to the solar mass splitting.
