Abstract

Measurements are needed of low-energy antineutrinos generated by possible neutron decay at the core of the Sun. The measurement will test the validity of a proposal that solar luminosity, solar neutrinos, and the outpouring of H ⁺ ions from the solar surface are the products of a chain of reactions triggered by neutron emission from the solar core. Inverse β decay of 87-d ³⁵S, induced by capture of low-energy antineutrinos on ³⁵Cl, is a likely candidate for this measurement.
