I will perform a quantitative analysis of the solar abundance
problem. I will discuss the properties of the Sun that can be constrained
by solar neutrino fluxes and helioseismic observables. I will consider,
in particular, the helioseismic and neutrino constraints on the opacity
profile of the Sun and the degeneracy between effects produced by
chemical composition and opacity...

The CNO cycle is not the main responsible for the production of energy in the Sun, but it is much more relevant for the production of the Solar neutrinos. Among the all different cycles of the CNO there are several reactions that have an important role and have to be studied deeply, especially the reactions that works as bridge between different cycles (for example 15N(p,gamma)16O,...

Borexino measured with unprecedented accuracy the fluxes of solar neutrinos emitted at all the steps of the pp fusion chain. Still missing is the measurement of the flux of neutrinos produced in the CNO cycle. A positive measurement of the CNO neutrino flux is of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution of stars and addressing the unresolved controversy on the solar abundances....

Solar neutrino experiments triggered almost all modern neutrino oscillation experiments and neutrino astrophysics research. The solar neutrino oscillation assumption is still missing two experimental evidence, i.e. the transition of matter dominated oscillation from high energy to vacuum oscillation at low energy, and a clear day-night difference due to the Earth matter effect. The standard...
