The SAGE experiment is a radiochemical gallium solar neutrino experiment which was created to solve solar neutrino problem arisen from Chlorine Davis experiment. The SAGE experiment together with the West European gallium experiment GALLEX contributed to the solution of the solar neutrino problem and simultaneously gave rise to a new problem which known as the gallium anomaly.

The great experimental progresses in the determination of solar neutrinos poses us new challenges. We show 1) that a precise determination of the PEP neutrinos is a prerequisite to extract the CNO neutrino signal; conversely, we argue 1) that the empirical determination of PP neutrinos requires to know the CNO neutrinos sufficiently well. For these current and urgent issues, the luminosity...

A first measurement of neutrinos from the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun would allow a resolution to the current solar metallicity problem. Detection of these low-energy neutrinos requires a low-threshold detector, while discrimination from radioactive backgrounds in the region of interest is significantly enhanced via directional sensitivity. This combination can be achieved in a water-based...
