The combined effect of spin-flavor precession (SFP) and the nonstandard neutrino interaction (NSI) on the survival probability of solar electron neutrinos (assumed to be Dirac particles) is examined for various values ofϵ11,ϵ12, andμB. It is found that the neutrino survival probability curves affected by SFP and NSI effects individually for some values of the parameters (ϵ11,ϵ12, andμB) get close to the standard MSW curve when both effects are combined. Therefore, the combined effect of SFP and NSI needs to be taken into account when the solar electron neutrino data obtained by low energy solar neutrino experiments is investigated.

We investigate how the anticipated neutral current rate from SNO will sharpen our understanding of the solar neutrino anomaly. Quantitative analyses are performed with representative values of this rate in the expected range of 0.8–1.2. This would provide a 5–10σ signal for νe transition into a state containing an active neutrino component. Assuming this state to be purely active one can estimate both the 8 B neutrino flux and the νe survival probability to a much higher precision than currently possible. Finally the measured value of the NC rate will have profound implications for the mass and mixing parameters of the solar neutrino oscillation solution.

We analyze the solar, terrestrial and atmospheric neutrino experiments including SuperKamiokande data using the three-flavor neutrinos framework and obtain the allowed region for parameters [Formula: see text]. In solar neutrino experiments, we obtain the large angle solution [Formula: see text] and small angle solution (3×10-6-1.2×10-5 eV 2, 0.003-0.01) for θ13=0°-20°. From the terrestrial and atmospheric neutrino experiments including the sub-GeV and multi-GeV zenith angle dependence in SuperKamiokande 535 days data, we found that the νμ-ντ mixing is large and the range of [Formula: see text] as 0.02~0.0002  eV 2. There is no significant difference between large θ12 angle solution and small one.

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.

Matter-dominant universe cannot be explained with the Standard Model. In order to understand why the current universe mainly consists of matter particles, scientists turned their attention to neutrino oscillations, and conducted research on the properties of the particle and its potential relationship with the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in the universe. In this research, the probability function of a neutrino oscillation was studied for 2-neutrino case to understand neutrino oscillation in particle accelerator experiments. For a more practical study, the neutrino oscillation probability function was calculated for two neutrino experiments and was used to verify neutrino detector positions and calculated ∆m2 which is mass difference between oscillating two different neutrinos. From this work, it was understood that detectors are located at positions with the highest probability for detecting neutrino oscillations, and it was also confirmed that neutrino were oscillating from muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos in particle accelerator experiments.

AbstractCosmogenic radio-nuclei are an important source of background for low-energy neutrino experiments. In Borexino, cosmogenic $$^{11}$$ 11 C decays outnumber solar pep and CNO neutrino events by about ten to one. In order to extract the flux of these two neutrino species, a highly efficient identification of this background is mandatory. We present here the details of the most consolidated strategy, used throughout Borexino solar neutrino measurements. It hinges upon finding the space-time correlations between $$^{11}$$ 11 C decays, the preceding parent muons and the accompanying neutrons. This article describes the working principles and evaluates the performance of this Three-Fold Coincidence (TFC) technique in its two current implementations: a hard-cut and a likelihood-based approach. Both show stable performances throughout Borexino Phases II (2012–2016) and III (2016–2020) data sets, with a $$^{11}$$ 11 C tagging efficiency of $$\sim 90$$ ∼ 90  % and $$\sim $$ ∼  63–66 % of the exposure surviving the tagging. We present also a novel technique that targets specifically $$^{11}$$ 11 C produced in high-multiplicity during major spallation events. Such $$^{11}$$ 11 C appear as a burst of events, whose space-time correlation can be exploited. Burst identification can be combined with the TFC to obtain about the same tagging efficiency of $$\sim 90\%$$ ∼ 90 % but with a higher fraction of the exposure surviving, in the range of $$\sim $$ ∼  66–68 %.

It is shown that the experiments on solar neutrinos can be accounted in terms of the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfestein theory with ∆m2=6×10−6 eV 2 and sin 2 2θ=7×10−3. In the scenario proposed here the high energy neutrinos, from 8 B , have a survival probability around 1/3, the intermediate ones, around the 7 Be line a very small one ~ 2×10−3 and the low energy neutrinos, the ones coming from pp reactions, do not oscillate.

The present status of the problem of neutrino mass, mixing and neutrino oscillations is briefly summarized. The evidence for oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos found recently in the Super-Kamiokande experiment is discussed. Indications in favor of neutrino oscillations obtained in solar neutrino experiments and in the accelerator LSND experiment are also considered. Implications of existing neutrino oscillation data for neutrino masses and mixing are discussed.
