Abstract
All existing measurements of the solar neutrino flux are compared with the predictions of the most recent solar model by Bahcall and Pinsonn eault, modified by introducing the hypothesis of neutrino oscillations with mass differences large enough to render energy-independent any q uantity observable on earth. It is concluded that the data are consist ent with this hypothesis and that, at least for the time being, any en ergy-dependence of the solar neutrino deficit should not be regarded a s a compelling reality.
