Abstract
Uncertainties in nuclear matrix elements that are important for the interpretation of proposed bromine solar neutrino experiments are evaluated. Some laboratory measurements that could reduce these uncertainties are suggested. The question of what can be learned about the interior of the sun by performing a bromine solar neutrino experiment is discussed with the aid of neutrino absorption cross sections that are calculated using simplifying assumptions.
