Electron-neutrino survival probability from solar-neutrino data

چکیده

With SNO data [1] on electron-neutrino flux from the sun, it is possible to derive the νe survival probability Pee(E) from existing experimental data of Super-Kamiokande, gallium experiments and Homestake. The combined data of SNO and Super-Kamiokande provide boron νe flux and the total flux of all active boron neutrinos, giving thus Pee(E) for boron neutrinos. The Homestake detector, after subtraction of the signal from boron neutrinos, gives the flux of Be+CNO neutrinos, and Pee for the corresponding energy interval, if the produced flux is taken from the Standard Solar Model (SSM). Gallium detectors, GALLEX, SAGE and GNO, detect additionally pp-neutrinos. The pp flux can be calculated subtracting from the gallium signal the rate due to boron, beryllium and CNO neutrinos. The ratio of the measured ppneutrino flux to that predicted by the SSM gives the survival probability for pp-neutrinos. Comparison with theoretical survival probabilities shows that the best (among known models) fit is given by LMA and LOW solutions.

MHD Solar Fluctuations and Solar Neutrinos

Assuming a non-vanishing magnetic moment of neutrinos, active electron neutrinos that are created in the Sun can interact with the solar magnetic field and be spin-flavor converted into sterile nonelectron neutrinos or into active nonelectron antineutrinos. This phenomenon is called Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession (RSFP). Particles resulting from RSFP interact with solar neutrino detectors sign...

Neutrinos in Stochastic Media: From Sun to Core-Collapse Supernovae

Recent work on neutrino propagation in stochastic media and its implications for the Sun and corecollapse supernovae are reviewed. It is shown that recent results from Sudbury Neutrino Observatory and SuperKamiokande combined with a best global fit value of δm2 = 5× 10−5 eV2 and tan2 θ = 0.3 rule out solar electron density fluctuations of a few percent or more. It is argued that solar neutrino ...

Determining the Flavour Content of the Low-Energy Solar Neutrino Flux

We study the sensitivity of the HELLAZ and Borexino solar neutrino experiments on discriminating the neutrino species νe, ν̄e, νμ,τ , ν̄μ,τ , and νs using the difference in the recoil electron kinetic energy spectra in elastic neutrino-electron scattering. We find that one can observe a non-vanishing νμ,τ component in the solar neutrino flux, especially when the νe survival probability is low. Al...

Spectral Distortions at Super-kamiokande

We examine the effect of the rise in the survival probability of the electron neutrinos with the decrease in the neutrino energy on the recoil electron spectrum at SuperKamiokande. The neutral current (NC) measurements at SNO [1] have, conclusively, established the oscillations of the solar neutrinos and after the evidence for terrestrial antineutrino disappearance in a beam of electronic antin...

A study of the solar neutrino survival probability

We present a study of the recent solar neutrino data using a Bayesian approach. The survival probability for neutrinos as a function of the energy has been extracted by two independent methods. The results of our analysis, assuming that only νe are observed in the Super-Kamiokande experiment, show a distinct supression of the survival probability at about 1 MeV, in good agreement with previous ...
