Abstract
The present status of the nuclear reaction rates determining the solar neutrino flux is discussed. This includes the reaction rates for the two branching ratios of the three pp-chains involving the reactions 3He(3He,2p)4He and 3He(4He,γ)7Be for the first branching, and 7Be(e−, νe)7Li and 7Be(p, γ)8B for the second branching. Mainly we will concentrate on the basic nuclear reaction p + p → D + e+ + νe of the pp-chains. This reaction rate can only be determined using the theoretical methods. The present status of the application of the relativistic field theory model of the deuteron for this reaction will be discussed.
