Description
The MSW effect - the adiabatic flavor conversion of neutrinos in matter
driven by density change is realized for solar neutrinos propagating inside the Sun.
The features and status of the ``LMA MSW solution'' are described.
Recent results on oscillations of the solar neutrinos inside the Earth are presented.
New physics beyond the standard three neutrino paradigm includes
non-standard neutrino interactions, mixing with sterile neutrinos,
non-unitarity of mixing and non-universality, violation of the fundamental symmetries,
dynamical nature of neutrino mass. Searches of new physics effects in solar neutrinos,
the present bounds and perspectives will be discussed.
