abstract

Measuring the solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales could provide a new window to inform the Solar Standard Model as well as studies of the Earth's long-term climate. We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the time-evolution of the $^8$B solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales using paleo detectors, naturally occurring minerals which record neutrino-induced recoil tracks over geological times. We explore suitable minerals and identify track lengths of 15--30 nm to be a practical window to detect the $^8$B solar neutrino flux. A collection of ultra-radiopure minerals of different ages, each some 0.1 kg by mass, can be used to probe the rise of the $^8$B solar neutrino flux over the recent gigayear of the Sun's evolution. We also show that models of the solar abundance problem can be distinguished based on the time-integrated tracks induced by the $^8$B solar neutrino flux.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Paleo-detectors are projected to reconstruct WIMP masses from 1 GeV/c² to 1 TeV/c² and to reject canonical spin-independent or spin-dependent interaction hypotheses for most non-standard NREFT operators without recoil...

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Paleodetectors can reach burst-like Galactic core-collapse activity of several tens of supernovae at 10 pc, with sensitivity enhanced by high-mass NS and failed-SN neutrino emission that depends on the nuclear EOS.
