SUMMARY:The race to solve the solar metallicity problem with neutrinos and
  discover dark matter - Jonathan Davis\, King's College London

DESCRIPTION:Several next-generation experiments aim to make the first meas
 urement of the neutrino flux from the Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) solar f
 usion cycle. This will provide crucial new information for models of the S
 un\, which currently are not able to consistently explain both helioseismo
 logy data and the abundance of metal elements\, such as carbon\, in the so
 lar photosphere. The solution to this solar metallicity problem may involv
 e new models of solar diffusion or even the capture of light dark matter b
 y the Sun. I look at how soon electronic-recoil experiments such as SNO+\,
  Borexino and Argo will measure the CNO neutrino flux\, and the challenges
  this involves. I also consider experiments looking for nuclear-recoils fr
 om CNO neutrinos\, which requires sensitivity to very low energies\, and d
 iscuss how the same technology is also key to direct searches for sub-GeV 
 mass dark matter.
