Neutrino Spin and Flavour Conversion and Oscillations in Magnetic Field
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of the neutrino conversion and oscillations among the two neutrino species (active and sterile) induced by strong twisting magnetic field is presented and implications to neutrinos in neutron star, supernova, the Sun and interstellar galactic media are discussed. The “cross-boundary effect” (CBE) (i.e., a possible conversion of one half of neutrinos of the bunch from active into sterile specie) at the surface of neutron star is also studied for a realistic neutron star structure.

A comprehensive study of neutrino spin-flavour conversion in supernovae and the neutrino mass hierarchy
Resonant spin-flavour (RSF) conversions of supernova neutrinos, which is induced by the interaction between the nonzero neutrino magnetic moment and supernova magnetic fields, are studied for both normal and inverted mass hierarchy. As the case for the pure matter-induced neutrino oscillation (Mikheyev–Smirnov– Wolfenstein (MSW) effect), we find that the RSF transitions are strongly dependent o...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillations: Recent results and future directions
Abstract. A brief introduction to the phenomena of vacuum neutrino oscillations and resonant flavour conversion is presented with a heavy pedagogic leaning. Variants of these ideas, e.g., neutrino helicity flip in a magnetic field, violation of the equivalence principle, etc. are outlined. A few vexing issues pertaining to the quantum mechanics of neutrino oscillations are discussed. Expectatio...
متن کاملThe Charged Neutrino: a New Approach to the Solar Neutrino Problem
We have considered the effect of the reduction of the solar neutrino flux on earth due to the deflection of the charged neutrino by the magnetic field of the solar convective zone. The antisymmetry of this magnetic field about the plane of the solar equator induces the anisotropy of the solar neutrino flux thus creating the deficit of the neutrino flux on the earth. The deficit has been estimat...
متن کاملInfluence of solar chaotic magnetic fields on neutrino oscillations
We consider the effect of a random magnetic field in the convective zone of the Sun on resonant neutrino spin-flavour oscillations. The expected signals in the different experiments (SK,GALLEX-SAGE,Homestake) are obtained as a function of the level of noise, regular magnetic field and neutrino mixing parameters. Previous results obtained for small mixing and ad-hoc regular magnetic profiles are...
متن کاملA non-resonant dark-side solution to the solar neutrino problem
We re-analyse spin-flavour precession solutions to the solar neutrino problem in the light of the recent SNO CC result as well as the 1258–day Super-Kamiokande data and the upper limit on solar anti-neutrinos. In a self-consistent magnetohydrodynamics approach the resulting scheme has only 3 effective parameters: ∆m, μB⊥ and the neutrino mixing angle θ. We show how a rates-only analysis for fix...
