The detected anomalous neutrino radioisotope (ANRI) absorption or effect allows one to study the variety of interactions of neutrino fluxes with radioactive matter and its consequences. Thus, results were obtained on solar neutrinos v , seismicity and heat flow of the Earth. The study of the features of the mechanical manifestation of the neutrino flux as a mechanical effect of the solar flux v in space on the Pioneer-type spacecraft is promising for many reasons.

This paper reviews the constraints on the solar neutrino mixing parameters with data collected by the Homestake, SAGE, GALLEX, Kamiokande, SuperKamiokande, and SNO experiments. An emphasis will be given to the global solar neutrino analyses in terms of matter-enhanced oscillation of two active flavors. The results to-date, including both solar model dependent and independent measurements, indicate that electron neutrinos are changing to other active types on route to the Earth from the Sun. The total flux of solar neutrinos is found to be in very good agreement with solar model calculations. Future measurements will focus on greater accuracy for mixing parameters and on better sensitivity to low neutrino energies.

In this paper, we study the effect of conversion of super-light sterile neutrino (SLSN) to electron neutrino in matter like that of the Earth. In the Sun the resonance conversion between SLSN and electron neutrino via the neutral current is suppressed due to the smallness of neutron number. On the other hand, neutron number density can play an important role in the Earth, making the scenario of SLSN quite interesting. The effect of CP-violating phases on active-SLSN oscillations is also discussed. Reactor neutrino experiments with medium or short baseline may probe the scenario of SLSN.

The possibility of flavor transitions into sterile neutrinos (accompanying the dominant LMA transitions) in the solar boron neutrino flux has been examined in a scenario proposed by Hollanda and Smirnov to overcome some generic problems of the pure LMA scenario. It is found that the most recent SNO salt phase solar neutrino data and the KamLAND 766.3 Ty spectral data, allow for a significant sterile presence in the solar boron neutrino flux reaching the earth.

The minimally extended standard model of particle physics contains three right handed or sterile neutrinos, coupled to the active ones by a Dirac mass matrix and mutually by a Majorana mass matrix. In the pseudo-Dirac case, the Majorana terms are small and maximal mixing of active and sterile states occurs, which is generally excluded for solar neutrinos. In a “Diracian” limit, the physical masses become pairwise degenerate and the neutrinos attain a Dirac signature. Members of a pair do not oscillate mutually so that their mixing can be undone, and the standard neutrino model follows as a limit. While two Majorana phases become physical Dirac phases and three extra mass parameters occur, a better description of data is offered. Oscillation problems are worked out in vacuum and in matter. With lepton number –1 assigned to the sterile neutrinos, the model still violates lepton number conservation and allows very feeble neutrinoless double beta decay. It supports a sterile neutrino interpretation of Earth-traversing ultra high energy events detected by ANITA.

Abstract We suggest a would-be solution to the solar neutrino tension why solar neutrinos appear to mix differently from reactor antineutrinos, in theoretical respect. To do that, based on an extended theory with light sterile neutrinos added we derive a general transition probability of neutrinos born with one flavor tuning into a different flavor. Three new mass-squared differences are augmented in the extended theory: $$ \Delta {m}_{\mathrm{ABL}}^2\lesssim \mathcal{O}\left({10}^{-11}\right) $$ Δ m ABL 2 ≲ O 10 − 11 eV2 optimized at astronomical-scale baseline (ABL) oscillation experiments and one $$ \Delta {m}_{\mathrm{SBL}}^2\lesssim \mathcal{O}(1) $$ Δ m SBL 2 ≲ O 1 eV2 optimized at reactor short-baseline (SBL) oscillation experiments. With a so-called composite matter effect that causes a neutrino flavor change via the effects of sinusoidal oscillation including the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein matter effect, we find that the value of ∆m2 measured from reactor antineutrino experiments can be fitted with that from the 8B solar neutrino experiments for roughly $$ \Delta {m}_1^2\lesssim {10}^{-13} $$ Δ m 1 2 ≲ 10 − 13 eV2 and $$ \Delta {m}_2^2\simeq \mathcal{O}\left({10}^{-11}\right) $$ Δ m 2 2 ≃ O 10 − 11 eV2. Nonetheless, we find that the current data (solar neutrino alone) is not precise enough to test the proposed scenario. Future precise measurements of 8B and pep solar neutrinos may confirm and/or improve the value of $$ \Delta {m}_2^2 $$ Δ m 2 2 .
