          Abstract

          The recent Super-Kamiokande data now admit only one type of mass hierarchy in a framework with three active and one sterile neutrinos. We show that neutrino masses and mixings generated by R-parity-violating couplings, with values within their experimental upper limits, are capable of reproducing this hierarchy, explaining all neutrino data particularly after including the LSND results.

          Evidence for oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos

          We present an analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from a 33.0 kiloton-year (535-day) exposure of the Super-Kamiokande detector. The data exhibit a zenith angle dependent deficit of muon neutrinos which is inconsistent with expectations based on calculations of the atmospheric neutrino flux. Experimental biases and uncertainties in the prediction of neutrino fluxes and cross sections are unable to explain our observation. The data are consistent, however, with two-flavor nu_mu nu_tau oscillations with sin^2(2theta)>0.82 and 5x10^-4 < delta m^2 < 6x10^-3 eV^2 at 90% confidence level.

              Solar Models with Helium and Heavy Element Diffusion

              Heavy element and helium diffusion are both included for the first time in this series of papers on precise solar models, along with improvements in the input data for nuclear reaction rates, the solar luminosity, the solar age, heavy element abundances, radiative opacities, helium and metal diffusion rates, and neutrino interaction cross sections. The calculated neutrino event rates, including all of the improvements, are \(9.3_{-1.4}^{+1.2}\) SNU for the \hbox{\(^{37}\)Cl} experimentand \(137_{-7}^{+8} \) SNU for the \hbox{\(^{71}\)Ga} experiments. The calculated flux of \hbox{\(^{7}\)Be} neutrinos is \(5.1(1.00_{-0.07}^{+0.06}) \times 10^{9}~{\rm cm^{-2}s^{-1}}\) and the flux of \({\rm ^8B}\) neutrinos is \(6.5 (1.00_{-0.17}^{+0.14})\times 10^{6}~{\rm cm^{-2}s^{-1}}\). The present-day surface helium abundance of the model is \(Y_s = 0.247\), in agreement with the helioseismological measurement of \(Y_s = 0.242 \pm 0.003\) determined by Hernandez and Christensen-Dalsgaard (1994). The computed depth of the convective zone is \hbox{\(R = 0.712~ R_{\odot}\)} in agreement with the observed value determined from \(p\)-mode oscillation data of \hbox{\(R = 0.713 \pm 0.003~ R_{\odot}\)} found by Christensen-Dalsgaard {\it et al.}~(1991). Solar models that do not include diffusion disagree with the helioseismology measurements. Although the present results increase the predicted event rate in the four operating solar neutrino experiments by almost \(1\sigma\) (theoretical uncertainty), they only slightly increase the difficulty of explaining the existing experiments with standard physics (i.e., by assuming that nothing happens to the neutrinos after they are created in the center of the sun).
