چکیده
3 4 q Ž If the low energy cross section for HeqpTM Heqe qn , the ‘hep’ reaction, is R20 times larger than the best but e . 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. q 1998 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملBoron abundance and solar neutrino spectrum distortion
The presence of neutrinos from Boron decay in the flux observed on Earth is attested by the observation of their energy spectrum. Possible distortions of the spectrum investigated in current detectors are often interpreted in terms of evidence in favour or against various schemes of neutrino oscillations. We stress here that a distortion of the spectrum at high energies could also result from a...
متن کاملSearching for hep Neutrinos using the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory has recently finished its third and final phase, and has accumulated over 1082 days of neutrino data, spanning the energy range from approximately 5-20 MeV. Almost all the observed neutrinos are due to the B reaction in the Sun. The so-called hep process ( He + p → He + e + νe) also occurs in the Sun, but has not yet been observed. The hep neutrino energy endpoi...
