We shall briefly recall what we knew 50 years ago concerning the solar chemical composition. Solar abundances at that time were sometimes called “cosmic abundances” as they were thought to apply to all astronomical objects!
We shall then discuss the present solar chemical composition derived from the photospheric spectrum thanks to the use of 3D photospheric models, with non-LTE, using all...

Analysis of solar neutrinos and studies of the solar interior by means of helioseismology, based on observed solar oscillations, have had a close interplay over many decades. Early calculations of solar oscillations were motivated by a proposed mixing mechanism to reduce (temporarily) the flux of electron neutrinos from the solar core. Early observations of solar oscillations showed that the...

Monte Carlo simulations have continuously increased their importance in solar neutrino physics. Nowadays they play a crucial role in the interpretation of acquired data. Consequently the understanding and a proper modelling of the detector response is a key point for a successful experiment. Recent Borexino updates show in a clear way how precision measurements can benefit from a reliable...
