Title: Solar neutrinos and future experiments

In this talk, we review the production of solar neutrinos and their propagation within the Sun and the Earth. The LMA-MSW solution explains the flavor change of solar neutrinos. However, there are some tensions between the data and predictions. In order to resolve these tensions, new physics such as Non-Standard neutrino Interaction (NSI) or the presence of a new sterile neutrino are proposed. Moreover, we are moving to a phase of sub-percent precision with future solar neutrino experiments. In this talk, I will discuss how we will be sensitive to the Earth tomography using day-night asymmetry of solar neutrinos and new physics such as NSI and super-light sterile neutrino scenarios.
