Abstract
We study the stability of the two-neutrino MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem, corresponding to solar transitions into a sterile neutrino, , with respect to changes of the total fluxes of and neutrinos, and . For any value of from the interval the MSW transitions provide at 95% C.L. a description of the existing solar neutrino data for and being the fluxes in the solar model of Bahcall and Pinsonneault [Rev. Mod. Phys. 69, 85 (1992)]. The corresponding allowed regions of values of the parameters and , characterizing the solar neutrino transitions, are derived. The physical implications of the found MSW solutions for the future solar neutrino experiments are considered as well.
