Constraining the neutrino magnetic moment with antineutrinos from the sun.

چکیده
We discuss the impact of different solar neutrino data on the spin-flavor-precession (SFP) mechanism of neutrino conversion. We find that, although detailed solar rates and spectra allow the SFP solution as a subleading effect, the recent KamLAND constraint on the solar antineutrino flux places stronger constraints on this mechanism. Moreover, we show that for the case of random magnetic fields inside the Sun, one obtains a more stringent constraint on the neutrino magnetic moment down to the level of mu(nu)< or = few x 10(-12)mu(B), similar to bounds obtained from star cooling.

The magnetic field in the convective zone of the Sun has a random small-scale component with the r.m.s. value substantially exceeding the strength of a regular large-scale field. For two Majorana neutrino flavors × two helic-ities in the presence of a neutrino transition magnetic moment and nonzero neutrino mixing we analyze the displacement of the allowed (∆m 2-sin 2 θ)-parameter region reconc...
متن کاملKamLAND 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...

We consider the effect of a strongly chaotic magnetic field at the narrow bottom of the convective zone of the Sun together with resonant matter oscillations on the production of electron Majorana antineutrinos. Even for moderate levels of noise, we show that it is possible to obtain a small but significant probability for ν e → ν e conversions (1-3%) at the energy range 2-10 MeV for large regi...

For neutrino scattering from polarized electron, the weak interaction term in the cross section is significantly suppressed by the polarized term. The magnetic moment term does not receive any correction from the electron polarization. Hence, the study of the magnetic moment of neutrinos through scattering from the polarized electron leads to a stronger bound on the neutrino magnetic moment com...
