Results for solar neutrino detection from the SuperKamiokande collaboration
have been presented recently while those from the Sudbury Neutrino Observa
tory are expected in the near future. These experiments are sensitive to th
e B-8 neutrinos from the sun, the shape of whose spectrum is well-known but
the normalization is less certain. We propose several variables, insensiti
ve to the absolute flux of the incident beam, which probe the shape of the
observed spectrum and can sensitively signal neutrino oscillations. They pr
ovide methods to extract the neutrino mixing angle and mass splitting from
the data and also to distinguish oscillation to sequential neutrinos from t
hose to a sterile neutrino.
