John Bahcall's solar neutrino data and software pages (SNdata)
Bahcall's IAS pages: solar ν spectra (pp, hep, ⁸B, CNO), absorption cross sections, solar models, exposure functions
The classic collection of solar-neutrino inputs maintained by John Bahcall at the Institute for Advanced Study: energy spectra of all solar neutrino sources, Cl and Ga absorption cross sections, the BP2000/BP04/BS05 solar models (with electron-density tables), survival probabilities and zenith-angle exposure functions. Still the reference source for many tables, but frozen since 2005 and on an at-risk personal web space.
