Abstract

If neutrino oscillations in the solar interior are responsible for the suppressed ${}^{8}B$ solar-neutrino flux measured by the Homestake ${}^{37}{Cl}$ detector, then for certain values of neutrino mass difference and mixing angle, distinct day-night differences in the counting rate are expected due to propagation effects in the Earth. We describe the plans to measure day-night variations with the ${}^{37}{Cl}$ detector, and present the results of calculations of ${}^{37}{Cl}$ detector sensitivity and expected results.
