g-modes and the Solar Neutrino Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that low-order g-modes with large enough amplitudes to affect significantly the solar neutrino fluxes would produce surface velocities that are 10 times larger than the observed upper limits and hence are ruled out by existing data. We also demonstrate that any large-amplitude, short-period oscillations that grow on a Kelvin-Helmholtz time scale will require, to affect solar neutrino fluxes, a large amount of energy (for g-modes, 10 times the energy in the observed p− mode oscillations) and a tiny amount of dissipation (for g-modes, 10 the dissipation rate of the p-modes).

Standard Solar Neutrinos and The Standard Solar Model
The standard solar model (SSM) yield a 8B solar neutrino flux which is consistent within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties with that observed at SuperKamiokande. The combined results from the SuperKamiokande and the Chlorine solar neutrino experiments do not provide a solid evidence for neutrino properties beyond the minimal standard electroweak model. The results from the Gallium ...
متن کاملInfluence of the Solar and Density Perturbations on the Neutrino Parameters
There are reasons to believe that the solar matter density fluctuates around an equilibrium profile. One of these reasons is a resonance between the Alfvén waves and the g-modes inside the Sun that creates spikes in the density profile. The neutrinos are created in the solar core and passing through these spikes feel them as a noisy perturbation, whose correlation length is given by the distanc...
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...
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Measurements
A review of solar neutrino experiments is provided, including experimental measurements to date and proposed future measurements. Experiments to date have provided a clear determination that solar neutrinos are undergoing flavor transformation and that the dominant mechanism for this transformation is oscillation. The mixing parameters are well defined and limits are placed on subdominant modes...

The SoHO spacecraft made astrophysicists achieve a major breakthrough in the knowledge of the Sun. In helioseismology , both GOLF and MDI experiments aboard SoHO greatly improve the accuracy of seismic data. More specifically , the detection of an enhanced number of low degree low order modes improves the accuracy on the sound speed and density profiles in the solar core. After a description of...
