Description

Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, is observing neutrinos from various natural sources. SK studies the effects of both the solar and terrestrial matter density on neutrino oscillations: a distortion of the solar neutrino energy spectrum would be caused by the edge of the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein resonance in the solar core, and terrestrial matter effects would induce a day/night solar neutrino flux asymmetry. In this poster presentation, we overview the latest solar neutrino results using the data including the SK-Gd era, for example, the precise measurement of 8B solar neutrino flux, its energy spectrum, and oscillation parameters. In addition to them, we also present the time variation of observed solar neutrino flux and a possible correlation between the neutrino flux and the solar activity.
