Influence of solar chaotic magnetic fields on neutrino oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
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 reobtained. We find that MSW regions are stable up to very large levels of noise (P=0.7-0.8) and they are acceptable from the point of view of antineutrino production. For strong noise any parameter region (∆m, sin 2θ) is excluded: this model of noisy magnetic field is not compatible with particle physics solutions to the SNP.

Large mixing angle oscillations as a probe of the deep solar interior
We re-examine the sensitivity of solar neutrino oscillations to noise in the solar interior using the best current estimates of neutrino properties. Our results show that the measurement of neutrino properties at KamLAND provides new information about fluctuations in the solar environment on scales to which standard helioseismic constraints are largely insensitive. We also show how the determin...

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...
