Constraints on Energy Independent Solutions of the Solar Neutrino Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the latest published solar neutrino data assuming an arbitrary neutrino oscillation/conversion mechanism suppresses the electron neutrino flux from the Sun independent of energy. For oscillations/transitions into active (sterile) neutrinos such mechanisms are ruled out at 99.96 (99.9997) % C.L. assuming the standard solar model by Bahcall and Pinnsoneault ’95 correctly predicts all solar neutrino fluxes within their estimated uncertainties. Even if one allows for B and Be solar neutrino fluxes that are vastly different from the ones in contemporary standard solar models these mechanisms are strongly disfavored by the data.

Neutrino Flavor Mixing Constrained by Accelerator and Reactor Experiments and Solar Neutrino Observation ∗
We derive the constraints imposed on neutrino masses and mixing angles by performing a combined analysis of the data from the Los Alamos and the other terrestrial neutrino oscillation experiments with the assumption of the flavor-mixing solutions to the solar neutrino problem. In a three-flavor mixing scheme which ignores the possibility of sterile neutrinos, we obtain severe constraints on the...
متن کاملOn the vacuum oscillation solutions of the solar neutrino problem.
We study the stability of the two–neutrino vacuum oscillation solution of the solar neutrino problem with respect to changes of the total fluxes of 8B and 7Be neutrinos, ΦB and ΦBe. For any value of ΦBe from the interval 0.7Φ BP Be ≤ ΦBe ≤ 1.3Φ BP Be the solar νe oscillations into an active neutrino, νe ↔ νμ(τ), provide at 95% C.L. a description of the existing solar neutrino data for ΦB ∼= (0....
متن کاملVEP oscillation solutions to the solar neutrino problem
We study the solar neutrino problem within the framework of a parametrized post-Newtonian formulation for the gravitational interaction of the neutrinos, which incorporates a violation to the equivalence principle (VEP). Using the current data on the rates and the energy spectrum we find two possible oscillation solutions, both for a large mixing angle. One of them involves the MSW effect in ma...
متن کاملStatus and prospects of MSW and vacuum oscillation solutions of the solar neutrino problem
The current interpretation of the solar neutrino problem in terms of MSW or vacuum oscillations depends signiicantly on the absolute neutrino uxes, i.e., on solar model calculations. However, second-generation experiments such as SuperKamiokande, SNO, and Borexino, will be able to test these neutrino oscillation solutions independently of solar models. We discuss the theoretical estimates and t...

It is considered that observed data coming from atmospheric neutrino experiments 1 are compelling evidence of neutrino oscillation indicating the presence of neutrino mass and flavor mixing . This is now being confirmed by the ongoing K2K experiment . Results of the solar neutrino experiments 5 are also supporting such mass induced neutrino oscillations hypothesis, either through the matter enh...
