Neutrino Oscillations, Solar Antineutrinos and the Solar Magnetic Fields
Abstract
Description
Even after the confirmation of the large mixing angle (LMA) solution of the solar neutrino problem, the scope for resonant spin- flavor precession (RSFP) transitions as a subdominant effect still exists. In this work,we have considered suitably suppressed RSFP transitions in addition to the dominant LMA flavor transitions and translated the bounds on the antineutrino flux into the bounds on the product of neutrino magnetic moment and solar magnetic field. The low and intermediate energy neutrinos have been included in the analysis by obtaining indirect bounds on the corresponding antineutrino fluxes for these components. It is assumed that the missing beryllium neutrinos are being converted into muon antineutrinos via RSFP transitions in the Sun.
