Abstract

Neutrinos allow us to look into the interior of the Sun, in particular by observing the neutrino fluxes that come from the Sun’s core, which yield stringent tests whether we understand the nuclear physics and calculate the correct temperatures and densities in solar or stellar cores. The source of solar energy was solved in the 1920s, when Hans Bethe, George Gamov, and Carl von Weizsäcker identified the relevant nuclear chain reactions.
