The Oscillation Probability of GeV Solar Neutrinos of All Active Species

چکیده

In this paper, I address the oscillation probability of O(GeV) neutrinos of all active flavours produced inside the Sun and detected at the Earth. Flavours other than electron-type neutrinos may be produced, for example, by the annihilation of WIMPs which may be trapped inside the Sun. In the GeV energy regime, matter effects are important both for the “1–3” system and the “1–2” system, and for different neutrino mass hierarchies. A numerical scan of the multidimensional three-flavour parameter space is performed, “inspired” by the current experimental situation. One important result is that, in the threeflavour oscillation case, Pαβ 6= Pβα for a significant portion of the parameter space, even if there is no CP -violating phase in the MNS matrix. Furthermore, Pμμ has a significantly different behaviour from Pττ , which may affect expectations for the number of events detected at large neutrino telescopes.

Variations on four - neutrino

We make a model-independent analysis of all available data that indicate neutrino oscillations. Using probability diagrams, we connrm that a mass spectrum with two nearly degenerate pairs of neutrinos separated by a mass gap of ' 1 eV is preferred over a spectrum with one mass eigenstate separated from the others. We derive some new relations among the four-neutrino mixing matrix elements. We d...

Variations on Four – Neutrino Oscillations

We make a model–independent analysis of all available data that indicate neutrino oscillations. Using probability diagrams, we confirm that a mass spectrum with two nearly degenerate pairs of neutrinos separated by a mass gap of ≃ 1 eV is preferred over a spectrum with one mass eigenstate separated from the others. We derive some new relations among the four–neutrino mixing matrix elements. We ...

Solar neutrinos: global analysis and implications for SNO

We present a global analysis of all the available solar neutrino data treating consistently the B and hep neutrino fluxes as free parameters. The analysis reveals at 99.7% C.L. eight currently-allowed discrete regions in two-neutrino oscillation space, five regions corresponding to active neutrinos and three corresponding to sterile neutrinos. Most of the allowed oscillation solutions are robus...

Oscillations of solar atmosphere neutrinos

The Sun is a source of high energy neutrinos (E ∼ 10 GeV) produced by cosmic ray interactions in the solar atmosphere. We study the impact of three-flavor oscillations (in vacuum and in matter) on solar atmosphere neutrinos, and calculate their observable fluxes at Earth, as well as their event rates in a kilometer-scale detector in water or ice. We find that peculiar three-flavor oscillation e...
