Critical review of the results of the Homestake solar neutrino experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The radiochemical experiment in the Homestake mine was designed to measure the solar neutrino flux through the detection of Ar produced in the reaction νe + 37 Cl −→ e − + Ar. The comparison between this measurement and the theoretical predictions from solar models evidences a substantial disagreement. I reanalyzed the data evidencing a bias with high statistical significance and suggesting a new interpretation of the data.

Fourier spectrum analysis of the new solar neutrino capture rate data for the Homestake experiment
All four solar neutrino experiments (Homestake, Kamiokande, GALLEX, SAGE) observe a deficit of solar neutrinos compared to the predictions of the Standard Solar Model. Additionally, any two of the three classes of solar neutrino experiments indicate that the largest suppression is in the middle of the solar neutrino spectrum (the Be-7 line and the lower part of the B-8 spectrum)[1]. Among these...
متن کاملWavelet Analysis of the New Solar Neutrino Capture Rate Data for the Homestake Experiment
Wavelet analysis offers an alternative to Fourier based time-series analysis and is particularly useful when spectral features are time dependent. We analyze the solar neutrino capture rate of the radiochemical Homestake chlorine experiment with abbreviated Morlet wavelets, using Foster’s (AJ, 111,1709(1996)) rescaled wavelet technique. We emphasize the complementarity of wavelet analysis to Fo...
متن کاملTime Variations of Solar Neutrino Signals and the Rsfcn Hypothesis
Resonant spin–flavour conversion of neutrinos (RSFCN) in twisting magnetic fields might be at the origin of the apparent anticorrelation between the 37 Ar production–rate in the Homestake solar neutrino detector and the solar activity. Moreover, it can account for the results of all solar neutrino experiments reported so far including the recent results of GALLEX and SAGE.
متن کاملThe Neutrino Magnetic Moment and Time Variations of the Solar Neutrino Flux
The present status of the neutrino magnetic moment solutions of the solar neutrino problem is summarized. After a brief review of the basics of the neutrino spin and spin–flavor precession I discuss the experimental data and show how the neutrino resonant spin–flavor precession (RSFP) mechanism can naturally account for sizeable time variations in the Homestake signal and no observable time var...
متن کاملNeutrino flux from the sun in the fractal universe
The neutrino flux from the sun is estimated within the framework of the fractal universe with a power index of 2. The obtained value of the neutrino flux may provide a solution for the solar neutrino puzzle. As known [1], [2] experiments measured solar neutrino fluxes significantly smaller than those predicted by the standard solar model (SSM) [3], [4]. Discrepancy between the theoretical and e...
