<span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">The origin of the solar neutrinos is typically associated with the mechanism of our sun converting four hydrogen nuclei hydrogen to helium while converting two protons into neutrons
by a weak interaction process. The discrepancies between neutrino observation and prediction was known for years as the solar neutrino problem in nuclear astrophysics. With the confirmation of neutrino oscillations the solar neutrino problem is considered
to be solved and neutrinos offer a unique tool for observing the interior of the sun. The bulk of the solar neutrinos are originated in the pp-chains which carry more than 97 % of the energy production of the sun, the remaining energy comes from the catalytic
CNO cycles, which dominate the hydrogen burning of more massive stars. The CNO cycles are associated with the origin of the CNO neutrinos from the β-decay of

way of measuring the metallicity (or CNO abundances) in our sun, addressing the present discrepancies between the spectroscopic results from surface studies and predictions from helioseismology, which should agree with each other in the framework of the standard
solar model. A critical parameter for these studies are the reaction rates of </span>
