Title: Solar Neutrinos with Super-Kamiokande
Abstract: The discrepancy of the measured solar neutrino ux compared to the predictions of the standardsolar model may be explained by the neutrino avor oscillation hypothesis. A more direct and lessmodel-dependent test of this hypothesis is a measurement of the distortion of the shape of the solarneutrino energy spectrum. Super-Kamiokande studies the energy spectrum of recoil electrons fromsolar neutrino scattering in water above 5.5 MeV.
