A Model Independent Approach to Solar Neutrino Experiments

In the first part of this report we present the results of a model independent analysis of the existing solar neutrino data. We obtained forbidden regions in the plane of the parameters Delta m^2 and sin^2 2 theta in two cases: A) Without any restrictions on the values of the solar neutrino fluxes f...
