Abstract
We consider the effect on matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation of a randomly fluctuating, -correlated matter density. The fluctuations will produce a distribution of neutrino survival probabilities. We find the mean and variance of the distribution for the case of solar neutrinos, and discuss the possibility of placing a limit on solar density fluctuations using neutrino data.
