Abstract
We investigate the impact of the 766.3 Ty KamLAND spectrum data on the determination of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We show that the observed spectrum distortion in the KamLAND experiment firmly establishes Îm212 to lie in the low-LMA solution region. The high-LMA solution is excluded at more than 4Ï by the global solar neutrino and KamLAND spectrum data. The maximal solar neutrino mixing is ruled out at 6Ï level. The 3Ï allowed region in the Îm212-sin2θ12 plane is found to be remarkably stable with respect to leaving out the data from one of the solar neutrino experiments from the global analysis. We perform a three flavor neutrino oscillation analysis of the global solar neutrino and KamLAND spectrum data as well. The 3Ï upper limit on sin2θ13 is found to be sin2θ13<0.055. We derive predictions for the CC to NC event rate ratio and day-night (D-N) asymmetry in the CC event rate, measured in the SNO experiment, and for the suppression of the event rate in the BOREXINO and LowNu experiments. Prospective high precision measurements of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters are also discussed.
