Abstract

Sub-MeV solar neutrino experiments and long-baseline reactor oscillation experiments toe the cutting edge of neutrino research. The upcoming experiments KamLAND and BOREXINO, currently in their startup and final construction phase respectively, will provide essential information on neutrino properties as well as on solar physics. Future projects, at present under development, will measure the primary solar neutrino fluxes via electron scattering and neutrino capture in real time. High precision data for lepton mixing as well as for stellar evolution theory will become available in the future. This paper aims to give an overview of the upcoming experiments and of the projects under development.
