The investigator will conduct an exploratory, short-term study of the possibility that the solar neutrino flux exhibits a modulation at the (synodic) solar rotation frequency. Based on analyses carried out to date, the investigator strongly suspects that such modulation exists and that the amplitude is sufficient to explain the neutrino deficit. The main effort is to test the procedures that have been used, to re-analyze neutrino and related data by new techniques, and to examine possible theoretical interpretations of the effect if it is proved to exist. If the effect is present there will be major consequences to the fields of particle physics, solar physics, and solar terrestrial relations.

研究人员将对太阳中微子通量在（会合）太阳旋转频率上表现出调制的可能性进行探索性的短期研究。根据迄今为止进行的分析，研究人员强烈怀疑这种调制存在，并且其幅度足以解释中微子缺陷。主要工作是测试已使用的程序，通过新技术重新分析中微子和相关数据，并检查该效应的可能理论解释（如果它被证明存在）。如果这种效应存在，将对粒子物理学、太阳物理学和日地关系领域产生重大影响。
