Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession Solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem and electron antineutrinos from the Sun

چکیده
We have found allowed ∆m, μB⊥, sin 2 2θ – regions for the Resonant SpinFlavor Precession Solution (RSFP) [1] to the Solar Neutrino Problem (SNP) fitted with data of all acting solar neutrino experiments. The tipical mass difference region ∆m ∼ 5·10−2·10 eV varying in dependence on the mixing 0 ≤ sin 2θ <∼ 0.05 is allowed for some descrete magnetic field regions in a wide range 30 kG <∼ Bmax <∼ 300 kG for the fixed neutrino transition magnetic moment μ/10μB = μ11 = 1 (free unknown parameter) and for different regular field profiles. Here Bmax is the maximum value of a regular large-scale magnetic field B(r) within the convective zone and the upper value Bmax ≃ 300 kG is chosen from some known MHD constraints [2]. Except of the first allowed range with the lowest field strength 30 kG <∼ Bmax <∼ 70 kG (for the same μ11 = 1) the values Bmax within other descrete allowed regions depend essentially on the profile B⊥(r) of a regular magnetic field in the convective zone of the Sun. For non-zero neutrino mixing (s22 = sin 2 2θ 6= 0) one can find at 99.9% CL (±3σ) an upper limit on the mixing, s22 ≤ s22max ∼ 0.2, originated by the non-observation of electron antineutrinos in the capture reaction ν̄ep → ne in the Superkamiokande (SK) detector (Φν̄ <∼ 0.035ΦνB , Eν >∼ 8.3 MeV [3]). This limit occurs also sensitive to the magnetic field parameter μB⊥. While at 67% CL (±σ) there is another more stringent upper limit s22 ≤ s22max1 ∼ 0.05 coming from inconsistency of gallium experiments with others that is also close to the result s2 <∼ 0.25 [4]. A new allowed region (∆m ≈ 10eV, sin 2θ ≈ 0.01) appears in the case of additional assumption that the Homestake data are 1.3 times less than the experimental event rate.

On the Resonant Spin Flavor Precession of the Neutrino in the Sun
This work deals with the possible solution of the solar neutrino problem in the framework of the resonant neutrino spin-flavor precession scenario. The event rate results from the solar neutrino experiments as well as the recoil electron energy spectrum from SuperKamiokande are used to constrain the free parameters of the neutrino in this model (∆m2 and μν) . We consider two kinds of magnetic p...
متن کاملMHD 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...

متن کاملKamLAND, 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 ...
