Abstract content

Both, Super-Kamiokande-I and SNO have reported a day night asymmetry that, after statistics and systematics are accounted for, is consistent with zero. Nevertheless, the Kamiokande values of 2.1% is sizable and, at least in sign, consistent with theoretical expectations. Taking into account in a simplified, yet realistic way the internal structure of the Earth, we present new analytical and numerical estimates of this asymmetry based on two- and three-neutrino oscillations.
