Description
We use the recent results on solar acoustic modes coming from GOLF and
MDI, to demonstrate that we improve the quality of the inversion of the
sound speed and the density by avoiding several biases coming from the
turbulent surface. The present accuracy allows a quantitative discussion
on the physics of the solar nuclear core. We now exclude several
phenomena which are incompatible with the present observations: central
turbulent mixing or large modification of the pp chain nuclear reaction
rates. We propose a solution to the difference between the Sun and solar
models only in terms of turbulence at the base of the convective zone,
an increase of the weak interaction p-p reaction rate by 2% in the
framework of intermediate Mitler screening, and an underestimate of CNO
composition of no more than 3%. Even if this solution is probably not
unique, it allows a prediction of neutrino fluxes induced by
helioseismology. We also note that nowadays, helioseismology puts just a
few constraints on the reaction rates of the CNO cycle, and let place
for lower high energy neutrino predictions.
