چکیده
If the low energy cross section for He + p → He + e + νe, the ‘hep’ reaction, is ∼ > 20 times larger than the best (but uncertain) theoretical estimates, then this reaction could significantly influence the electron energy spectrum produced by solar neutrino interactions and measured in the SuperKamiokande, SNO, and ICARUS experiments. We compare predicted energy spectra for different assumed hep fluxes and different neutrino oscillation scenarios with the observed SuperKamiokande spectrum. The spectra with enhanced hep contributions provide better fits to the SuperKamiokande data.

The energy spectrum of recoil electrons from solar neutrino scattering, as observed by Superkamiokande, is deformed with respect to that expected from SSM calculations. We considered ν − e scattering from neutrinos produced by the electron–capture on 8B nuclei, e +8 B →8 Be + νe, as a possible explanation of the spectral deformation. A flux ΦeB ≃ 10 4 cm−2 s−1 could account for Superkamiokande ...

It is shown that only two four-neutrino schemes are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. These two schemes have a mass spectrum composed of two pairs of neutrinos with close masses separated by the “LSND gap” of the order of 1 eV. Talk presented at the Xth International School “PARTICLES and COSMOLOGY”, 19–25 April 1999, Baksan Valley, Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia,...

The excess of highest energy solar-neutrino events recently observed by Superkamiokande can be in principle explained by anomalously high hep-neutrino flux Φ ν (hep). Without using SSM calculations, from the solar lumi-nosity constraint we derive that Φ ν (hep)/S 13 cannot exceed the SSM estimate by more than a factor three. If one makes the additional hypothesis that hep neutrino production oc...
