Influence of plasma oscillations on the neutrino energy spectrum from the Sun

The reaction in the interior of the Sun has been the focus of interest of a number of investigators due to its bearing on the solar neutrino problem. In this paper we have calculated the effect of the excitation of plasma oscillations (plasmon) during the reaction and present results on the changes in the reaction rate and in the energy spectra of and . The resulting implications for the Gallium experiment are briefly examined.
