Abstract

The present status of the mechanism of resonance enhancement of neutrino oscillations in matter has been considered by using the existent experimental data and it is concluded that this effect has no clear experimental confirmation. To prove that this mechanism is realized it is necessary to fulfil precision experiments with solar neutrinos and neutrinos which have passed through the Earth matter.
