Solar neutrino problem as evidence of new interaction

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-12-24 v2 Solar and Stellar Astrophysics Nuclear Theory

Abstract

A new concept is proposed to solve the solar neutrino problem, that is based on a hypothesis about the existence of a new interaction of electron neutrinos with nucleons mediated by massless pseudoscalar bosons. At every collision of a neutrino with nucleons of the Sun, its handedness changes from left to right and vice versa, and its energy decreases. The postulated hypothesis, having only one free parameter, provides a good agreement between the calculated and experimental characteristics of all five observed processes with solar neutrinos.
