Influence of the Solar and Density Perturbations on the Neutrino Parameters

چکیده
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 distance between the spikes. When we consider these perturbations on the density profile, the values of the neutrino parameters necessary to obtain a solution to the solar neutrino problem are affected. In particular, in the present work, we show that the values of the parameters of mass and mixing angle that satisfy both the Large Mixing Angle solution to the solar neutrinos and the data from KamLAND that observes neutrinos created in earth nuclear reactors are shifted in the direction of lower values as the amplitude of the density noise increases. This means that, depending on the new data of KamLAND and other detectors, it can be necessary to invoke random perturbations in the Sun to recover compatibility with solar neutrino observations. In this case, the neutrino observations will be used as a real probe of the solar interior, giving information of the density profile in the central part of the Sun, which can not be observed directly.

There are reasons to believe that mechanisms exist in the solar interior which lead to random density perturbations in the resonant region of the Large Mixing Angle solution to the solar neutrino problem. We find that, in the presence of these density perturbations, the best fit point in the (sin 2θ,∆m) parameter space moves to smaller values, compared with the values obtained for the standard ...
متن کاملMHD Solar Fluctuations and Solar Neutrinos
Assuming a non-vanishing magnetic moment of neutrinos, active electron neutrinos that are created in the Sun can interact with the solar magnetic field and be spin-flavor converted into sterile nonelectron neutrinos or into active nonelectron antineutrinos. This phenomenon is called Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession (RSFP). Particles resulting from RSFP interact with solar neutrino detectors sign...
متن کاملInvestigation of the effects of geomagnetic storms on ionospheric irregularities using the combination of ground-based GNSS and SWARM satellites
Geomagnetic storms are one of the main causes of ionospheric perturbations in different sizes, depending on their intensity, which could disturb radio signals passing through this medium. On September 6-12, 2017, the sudden storm commencement (SSC) was the most massive geomagnetic storm of the year due to the X9 solar flare caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME). IMF-Bz and Dst values increase...
متن کاملThe Stability of the Msw Solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem with Respect to Random Matter Density Perturbations *
We present a generalization of the resonant neutrino conversion in matter, including a random component in the matter density profile. The study is focused on the effect of such matter perturbations upon both large and small mixing angle MSW solutions to the solar neutrino problem. This is carried out both for the active-active ν e → ν µ,τ as well as active-sterile ν e → ν s conversion channels...
