Solar neutrinos: Global analysis with day and night spectra from SNO

Abstract
We perform global analysis of the solar neutrino data including the day and night spectra of events at SNO. In the context of two active neutrino mixing, the best fit of the data is provided by the large-mixing angle (LMA) Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein solution with Δm2=6.15×105eV2,tan2θ=0.41,fB=1.05, where fB is the boron neutrino flux in units of the corresponding flux in the standard solar model (SSM). At the 3σ level we find the following upper bounds: tan2θ<0.84 and Δm2<3.6×104eV2. From a 1σ interval we expect the day-night asymmetries of the charged current and electron scattering events to be ADNCC=3.92.9+3.6% and ADNES=2.11.4+2.1%. The only other solution which appears at the 3σ level is the VAC solution with Δm2=4.5×1010eV2, tan2θ=2.1, and fB=0.75. The best fit point in the low probability, low mass region, with Δm2=0.93×107eV2 and tan2θ=0.64, is accepted at 99.95% (3.5σ) C.L. The least χ2 point from the small mixing angle solution region, with Δm2=4.6×106eV2 and tan2θ=5×104, could be accepted at the 5.5σ level only. In the three neutrino context the influence of θ13 is...
