Measuring the Be-7 solar neutrino flux is crucial towards solving the solar
neutrino puzzle. The Borexino experiment, and possibly the KamLAND experim
ent, will be capable of studying the 7Be neutrinos in the near future. We d
iscuss (1) how the seasonal variation of the Borexino and KamLAND data can
be used to measure the 7Be solar neutrino flux in a background independent
way and (2) how anomalous seasonal variations might be used to discover vac
uum neutrino oscillations, independent of the solar model and the measureme
nt of the background. In particular, we find that, after three years of Bor
exino or KamLAND running, vacuum neutrino oscillations can be either establ
ished or excluded for almost all values of (sin(2) 2 theta,Delta m(2)) pref
erred by the Homestake, GALLEX, SAGE, and Super-Kamiokande data. We also di
scuss how well seasonal variations of the data can be used to measure (sin(
2) 2 theta,Delta m(2)) in the case of vacuum oscillations. [S0556-2821(99)0
