Abstract
We calculate the fraction of $^{8}\mathrm{B}$ solar neutrinos that arrive at the Earth as a ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{2}$ mass eigenstate as a function of the neutrino energy. Weighting this fraction with the $^{8}\mathrm{B}$ neutrino energy spectrum and the energy dependence of the cross section for the charged current interaction on deuteron with a threshold on the kinetic energy of the recoil electrons of 5.5 MeV, we find the integrated weighted fraction of ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{2}$'s to be $(91\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2)%$ at the 95% CL. This energy weighting procedure corresponds to the charged current response of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). We have used SNO's current best fit values for the solar mass squared difference and the mixing angle, obtained by combining the data from all solar neutrino experiments and the reactor data from KamLAND. The uncertainty on the ${\ensuremath{\nu}}_{2}$ fraction comes primarily from the uncertainty on the solar $\ensuremath{\delta}{m}^{2}$ rather than from the uncertainty on the solar mixing angle or the standard solar model. Similar results for the Super-Kamiokande experiment are also given. We extend this analysis to three neutrinos and discuss how to extract the modulus of the Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing matrix element ${\mathrm{U}}_{e2}$ as well as place a lower bound on the electron number density in the production region for $^{8}\mathrm{B}$ solar neutrinos.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
