In the context of solar neutrino oscillations among active states, we briefly
discuss the current likelihood of Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) solutions
to the solar neutrino problem, which appear to be currently favored at large
mixing, where small Earth regeneration effects might still be observable in
Super-Kamiokande (SK) and in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). We point
out that, since such effects are larger at high (low) solar neutrino energies
for high (low) values of the mass square difference \delta m^2, it may be
useful to split the night-day rate asymmetry in two separate energy ranges. We
show that the difference \Delta of the night-day asymmetry at high and low
energy may help to discriminate the two large-mixing solutions at low and high
\delta m^2 through a sign test, both in SK and in SNO, provided that the
sensitivity to \Delta can reach the (sub)percent level.Comment: 6 pages (RevTeX) + 4 figures (PostScript). Final version, to appear
