The radiochemical experiment in the Homestake mine was designed to measure the solar neutrino flux through the detection of 37Ar produced in the reaction νe + 37Cl \longrightarrow e-+37Ar. The comparison between this measurement and the theoretical predictions from solar models evidences a substantial disagreement. I reanalyzed the data evidencing a bias with high statistical significance and suggesting a new interpretation of the data.
