Box 500, 1400 Vienna, Austria 7 1 The paper provides results of the Fourier spectrum analysis of the new Ar-37 production v rate data of the Homestake solar neutrino experiment and compares them with results for 6 earlier data, revealing the harmonic content in the Ar-37 production in the Homestake 7 0 experiment. 2 1 6 1. THE SOLAR NEUTRINO PROBLEM 9 / All four solar neutrino experiments (Homestake, Kamiokande, GALLEX, SAGE) ob- h p serve a deficit of solar neutrinos compared to the predictions of the Standard Solar Model. o- Additionally, any two of the three classes of solar neutrino experiments indicate that the r largest suppression is in the middle of the solar neutrino spectrum (the Be-7 line and the t s lower part of the B-8 spectrum)[1]. Among these four experiments the Homestake experi- a : ment is taking data for almost 25 years [2,3]. The reliability of the radiochemical method v i for detecting solar neutrinos has been tested recently by the GALLEX experiment [1]. X r a 2. IS THE SOLAR NEUTRINO FLUX CONSTANT? All efforts to resolve the solar neutrino problem by improving solar, nuclear,and neutrino physics have not proven successful so far[4]. This may also mean that the average solar neutrino flux extracted from the four experiments may not be the proper quantity to explain the production of neutrinos in the gravitationally stabilized solar fusion reactor [5,6]. This conjecture is supported by the f
