Summary Solar observation • • • SK has observed ~77000 8 B interactions over 18 years, by far the largest sample of solar neutrino events in the world. – No correlation with the solar activity cycle. SK recoil electron energy spectrum slightly disfavors “MSW upturn” SK data provide the first indication (at 2. 8~3. 0 s) of terrestrial matter effects on 8 B solar oscillation. For DSNB detection Gd project in SK (was known as GADZOOKS!) started in 2002. • EGADS started in 2009 to evaluate Gd effect to SK. • In 2015, 0. 2% of Gd sulfate was dissolved in EGADS and it was confirmed that there is no showstopper for putting Gd into SK. SK-Gd was accepted by Super-K in June 2015. • Stay tuned for low energy SK neutrino Hiroyuki Sekiya TAUP 2015 Torino September 7 2015 19

Summary Hiroyuki Sekiya SK has observed ~70000 solar interactions, by far the largest sample

Summary Hiroyuki Sekiya SK has observed ~70000 solar interactions, by far the largest sample of solar neutrino events in the world. SK data provide the first indication (at 2. 8~3. 0 s) of terrestrial matter effects on 8 B solar oscillation. SK gives the world’s strongest constraints on the shape of the survival probability Pee(Eν) in the transition region between vacuum oscillations and MSW resonance. ◦ SK spectrum results are consistent with MSW up-turn prediction within ~1 s. SK measurements strongly constrain neutrino oscillation parameters: ◦ SK gives world’s best constraint on Δm 212 using neutrinos. ◦ There is a 2 s tension between SK’s neutrino and Kam. LAND’s antineutrino measurement of Δm 212. Last month SK started taking data at ~2. 5 Me. V at ~100% trigger efficiency. Stay tuned for very low energy SK neutrino.

Full summary SK has observed ~70000 solar neutrino interactions in ~4500 days (1. 5

Full summary SK has observed ~70000 solar neutrino interactions in ~4500 days (1. 5 solar cycles), by far the largest sample of solar neutrino events in the world. SK data provide the first indication (at 2. 8~3. 0 sigma) of terrestrial matter effects on 8 B solar neutrino oscillation. This is the first observation using a single detector and identical neutrino beams that matter affects neutrino oscillations. SK has successfully lowered the analysis threshold to ~3. 5 Me. V kinetic recoil electron energy. SK gives the world’s strongest constraints on the shape of the survival probability Pee(Eν) in the transition region between vacuum oscillations and MSW resonance. SK spectrum results slightly disfavor the MSW resonance curves, but are consistent with MSW prediction within 1 -1. 7 sigma. SK measurements strongly constrain neutrino oscillation parameters: SK uniquely selects the Large Mixing Angle MSW region by >3 sigma, gives world’s best constraint on solar Δm 2 using neutrinos, and significantly contributes to the measurement of the solar angle. There is a 2 sigma tension between SK’s neutrino and Kam. LAND’s anti-neutrino measurement of the solar Δm 2. Last month SK started taking data at ~2. 5 Me. V at ~100% trigger efficiency.

SK+SNO 8 B total flux For each oscillation parameter set there is a minimum

SK+SNO 8 B total flux For each oscillation parameter set there is a minimum chi 2 and a 8 B error term describing the parabolic increase of the chi 2 with deviations from the best chi 2. The reduced chi 2 vs. 8 B flux is below. The jump is due to the relatively coarse grid in theta 12. 5. 30+0. 17 -0. 11 x 10^6/(cm 2 sec), which is a (+3%, -2%) error on the total 8 B for SK+SNO compared to the 1. 5% error of SK's ES flux by itself.
