Abstract

Cosmic ray interactions in the solar atmosphere yield a flux of electron and muon neutrinos with energies greater than 10 GeV. We discuss the influence of neutrino oscillations on the event rates in water-based Cerenkov detectors due to this neutrino flux and comment on the possibility of detecting the sun as a high energy neutrino source.
