The solar neutrino experiment based upon the neutrino capture reaction /sup 37/Cl (..nu.., e/sup -/) /sup 37/Ar has been in operation in the Homestake Gold Mine at Lead, South Dakota since 1967. The results of this experiment are well known, and have been reported most recently to the solar neutrino conference at Lead in 1984. We report here the latest results from this experiment. A radiochemical neutrino detector based upon the neutrino capture reaction /sup 81/Br (..nu.., e/sup -/) /sup 81/Kr* ..-->.. /sup 81/Kr has recently been shown to be feasible. Our plans for performing a full scale test of the method using the Homestake chlorine detector are discussed briefly. 8 refs.
