We demonstrate the feasibility of measuring the time evolution of the B-8 solar neutrino flux over gigayear timescales using paleo detectors, naturally occurring minerals which record neutrino-induced recoil tracks over geological times. We explore suitable minerals and identify track lengths of 15-30 nm to be a practical window to detect the B-8 solar neutrino flux. A collection of ultraradiopure minerals of different ages, each some 0.1 kg by mass, can be used to probe the rise of the B-8 solar neutrino flux over the recent gigayear of the Sun's evolution. We also show that the time-integrated tracks are sensitive to models of the Sun.application/pdfenCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 InternationalArticle - Refereedhttps://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.103.123016103122470-0029
