Peres 1 Instituto de F́ısica Gleb Wataghin UNICAMP, 13083-970 Campinas SP, Brazil 2 Instituto de F́ısica, Universidade de São Paulo, 05315-970, São Paulo SP, Brazil We study the effect of random magnetic fields in the spin-flavor precession of solar neutrinos in a three generation context, when a non-vanishing transition magnetic moment is assumed. While this kind of precession is strongly constrained when the magnetic moment involves the first family, such constraints do not apply if we suppose a transition magnetic moment between the second and third families. In this scenario we can have a large non-electron anti-neutrino flux arriving on Earth, which can lead to some interesting phenomenological consequences, as, for instance, the suppression of day-night asymmetry. We have analyzed the high energy solar neutrino data and the KamLAND experiment to constrain the solar mixing angle, tan θ⊙, and solar mass difference, ∆m2⊙, and we have found a larger shift of allowed values.

Neutrino spin-flavor oscillations in rapidly varying external fields

We study the neutrino oscillations in presence of rapidly varying external fields. The effective Hamiltonian describing the evolution of the system of the neutrinos is derived. We examine the resonance conditions in the case of general rapidly varying external fields. The neutrino spin-flavor oscillations in the combination of the constant transversal and twisting magnetic fields are considered...

Constraining the neutrino magnetic moment with antineutrinos from the sun.

We discuss the impact of different solar neutrino data on the spin-flavor-precession (SFP) mechanism of neutrino conversion. We find that, although detailed solar rates and spectra allow the SFP solution as a subleading effect, the recent KamLAND constraint on the solar antineutrino flux places stronger constraints on this mechanism. Moreover, we show that for the case of random magnetic fields...

Neutrino Magnetic Moments and the Solar Neutrino Problem

Present status of the neutrino magnetic moment solutions of the solar neutrino problem is reviewed. In particular, we discuss a possibility of reconciling different degrees of suppression and time variation of the signal (or lack of such a variation) observed in different solar neutrino experiments. It is shown that the resonant spin–flavor precession of neutrinos due to the interaction of thei...

The Neutrino Magnetic Moment and Time Variations of the Solar Neutrino Flux

The present status of the neutrino magnetic moment solutions of the solar neutrino problem is summarized. After a brief review of the basics of the neutrino spin and spin–flavor precession I discuss the experimental data and show how the neutrino resonant spin–flavor precession (RSFP) mechanism can naturally account for sizeable time variations in the Homestake signal and no observable time var...
