The 2nd International Workshop on Low Energy Solar Neutrino Detection : Tokyo, Japan, 4-5 December 2000

This proceedings volume presents discussions on the technical aspect of the detection of low energy solar neutrinos. Most of the problems related to the experiments aiming to measure low energy solar neutrinos are dealt with.

It presents discussions on the technical aspect of the detection of low energy solar neutrinos. Most of the problems relating to experiments aiming to measure low energy solar neutrinos are covered. The long-standing question as to whether neutrinos have a finite mass is now positively answered.
