Neutrino Physics around MeV Energies
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements(2007)
Abstract
We present a brief informative overview of a broad ranges of subjects, the
solar, the reactor, the geo and the supernova neutrinos (but without excluding
possible biases), the topics which consist of the session ``Neutrino Physics
around MeV Energies'' in NOW2006. Contrary to the naive expectation, the field
is found to be very active in improving the performance of existing detectors,
and in preparation for the development coming in the near future. The former
includes excellent performance of SNO 3He detector, successful reconstruction
of SK III, and KamLAND's new ``4pi'' calibration. The next data release from
these experiments will be very exciting. The latter includes effort for
lowering threshold in SK III, KamLAND's purification by which geo-neutrino
observation becomes much cleaner, and the forthcoming 7Be neutrino measurement
by BOREXINO and KamLAND. Possible detection of relic supernova neutrinos and
non-zero effect of theta_{13} would bring us great excitement. Furthermore,
improved new measurement of heavy element abundance in the solar atmosphere
resulted in a solar model with much lower CNO \nu flux and with disagreement
with helioseismology, thereby bringing us a new solar puzzle.
