Abstract

If 7Be solar neutrinos can be observed in real time experiments, then an extended region of Delta m2 can be probed by a proper analysis of the rapidly changing phase of vacuum oscillations due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit about the sun. For the case of maximal vacuum mixing, a kind of Fourier analysis of expected data for one year's time could uniquely pick out Delta m2 if it lies in the region ~10-10 - 6 X 10-9 (eV)2.
