Abstract
The vacuum oscillation solution to the solar neutrino problem predicts characteristics variations of the observable neutrinos rates, as a result of the L/Enu dependence of the nue survival probability (L and Enu being the neutrino pathlength and energy, respectively). The Enu-dependence can be studied through distortions of the recoil electron spectrum in the SuperKamiokande experiment. The L-dependence can be investigated through a Fourier analysis of the signal in the SuperKamiokande and Borexino experiments. We discuss in detail the interplay among such observable variations of the signal, and show how they can help to test and constrain the vacuum oscillation solution(s). The analysis includes the 374-day SuperKamiokande data.
