چکیده

A global analysis of the solar neutrino data from all solar neutrino experiments combined with the KamLAND data is presented assuming that the solar neutrino deficit is due to the matter-enhanced spin-flavor precession effect. We used two types of magnetic field profiles throughout the entire Sun: Wood-Saxon shape and the Gaussian shape. We showed that for Dirac neutrinos, the allowed regions are independent of the magnetic field profiles for all of the magnetic moments that we used in this paper and the allowed region in the large mixing angle (LMA) region shifted to the small mixing angle (SMA) region as μB value is increased. We calculated the allowed regions at 95% CL. We also find a limit for the electron neutrino magnetic moment at 0.95CL so that μB < 0.2 × 10μ B G for both magnetic field profiles at 1σlevel. 1.Introduction The earlier solar neutrino experiments (Homestake and all three Gallium experiments)[1− 4] showed deficits of the neutrino flux from the Sun when compared to the standard solar model(SSM) predictions[5]. One of the most popular solutions of this problem is MSW effect[6, 7]. In this solution, when electron neutrinos pass through the electronic matter, they are exposed to matter effects which can cause an almost complete conversion of electron neutrinos to another neutrino types. Another solution is the magnetic moment solution which we investigated in this paper. If the neutrinos have large magnetic moments and pass through a region with a magnetic field, the helicity of the neutrino can be flipped, then this spin flip changes the left-handed electron neutrino to a right handed electron neutrino that we cannot detect[8− 11]. Lim and Marciano examined[12] the combined effect of matter and magnetic fields on neutrino spin and flavor precession. They developed the idea of the

KamLAND Bounds on Solar Antineutrinos and neutrino transition magnetic moments

We investigate the possibility of detecting solar antineutrinos with the KamLAND experiment. These antineutrinos are predicted by spin-flavor oscillations at a significant rate even if this mechanism is not the leading solution to the SNP. The recent evidence from SNO shows that the solar neutrino flux arriving on earth could contain a residual component including sterile neutrinos and/or the a...

Constraining neutrino magnetic moment with solar and reactor neutrino data

We use solar neutrino data to derive stringent bounds on Majorana neutrino transition moments (TMs). Such moments, if present, would contribute to the neutrino– electron scattering cross section and hence alter the signal observed in Super-Kamiokande. Using the latest solar neutrino data, combined with the results of the reactor experiment KamLAND, we perform a simultaneous fit of the oscillati...

Constraints on the Environment Depence of the Neutrino Mass from Solar and Reactor Neutrino Data

We investigate what can be the role of Mass Varying Neutrinos in several different neutrino oscillation experiments, in particular focusing on the relation between KamLAND data and solar neutrino experiment results. Assuming that the adiabaticity of solar neutrinos evolution in LMA-MSW scenario is not broken by the inclusion of this new mechanism, we can establish new limits on MaVaN’s paramete...

KamLAND, solar antineutrinos and their magnetic moment

We investigate the possibility of detecting solar antineutrinos with the KamLAND experiment. These antineutrinos are predicted by spin-flavor oscillations at a significant rate even if this mechanism is not the leading solution to the SNP. The recent evidence from SNO shows that a) the neutrino oscillates, only around 34% of the initial solar neutrinos arrive at the Earth as electron neutrinos ...

Searches for sterile component with solar neutrinos and KamLAND

Possible mixing of the active and sterile neutrinos has been considered both in the single ∆m approximation and in the case of more than one ∆m. We perform global fit of the available solar neutrino data with free boron neutrino flux in the single ∆m context. The best fit value corresponds to zero fraction of sterile component η = 0. We get the upper bounds: η < 0.26(0.64) at 1σ (3σ). Due to de...
