Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 5730–5733 (1998)Solar Neutrino Puzzle: An Oscillation Solution with Maximal Neutrino MixingReceived 1 July 1998; published in the issue dated 28 December 1998 If, as suggested by the Super-Kamiokande results, νμ and ντ are maximally and “rapidly” ( Δm2≈2.2×10-3eV2) mixed, this alone determines the mapping from current to mass eigenstates up to one rotation angle θ mixing νe “more slowly” with a particular, equal-weight combination of νμ and ντ. For sin2θ = 1, the resulting minimal number of free parameters, yet maximal mixing, shows agreement, with minor modifications, between extant observations of solar neutrinos and predictions by the standard solar model. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
