measure the rate of neutral-current interactions in heavy water and precisely determined the
total active (ν x) B 8 solar neutrino flux. This technique is independent of previous methods
employed by SNO. The total flux is found to be 5.54-0.31+ 0.33 (stat)-0.34+ 0.36 (syst)× 10 6
cm-2 s-1, in agreement with previous measurements and standard solar models. A global
analysis of solar and reactor neutrino results yields Δ m 2= 7.59-0.21+ 0.19× 10-5 eV 2 and …
