Solar neutrino measurement from the second phase of the Super-Kamiokande experiment

The second phase of the Super-Kamiokande experiment aimed at the continuation of the solar neutrino measurement after the 1496-day first phase. However, the second phase operated with a photocathode coverage 47% of the first phase's. This reduction in sensitivity prompted the development of new analysis tools and created larger estimations of systematic errors. Despite these changes, the second phase solar neutrino data showed consistency with the first phase and no indication of systematic tendencies between the two phases was present. An oscillation analysis of the second phase resulted in reduced exclusion power of the neutrino mixing angle and mass difference parameter set. However, a rate constrained combined oscillation analysis of both phases continues to favor the Large Mixing Angle solution at 95% confidence level.
