New Section in 2002 Edition

VI. Transition from “problem” to “opportunity.” Bahcall, Davis, Parker, Smirnov, Ulrich

The three papers included in this section have been described in the Preface to the paperback edition of 2002. We only need to add here that the announcement of the epochal results from the SNO experiment (VI. 3) on June 18, 2001, immediately led to a torrent of papers that used the SNO results, together with those of the Super-Kamiokande collaboration (VI. 2) and the previously announced results from the chlorine, Kamiokande, SAGE, GALLEX, and GNO experiments, to elucidate the importance of the experimental results for physics and astronomy.

We list directly below the three reprinted articles. Following the list of reprinted papers, we cite (in chronological order of appearance) a few of the articles that appeared in the two months following the SNO announcement in order to give the interested reader a feeling for the jubilation and the enthusiasm of the immediate response to the new results.
