Description

Zee-type models with Majorons naturally incorporate the 17 keV neutrino but in their minimal version fail to simultaneously solve the solar neutrino puzzle. If there is a sterile neutrino state, we find a particularly simple solution to the solar neutrino problem, which besides $ν_{17}$ predicts a light Zeldovich-Konopinski-Mahmoud neutrino $ν_{light}=ν_e+ν_μ^c$ with a magnetic moment being easily as large as $10^{-11}μ_B$ through the Barr-Freire-Zee mechanism.
