Solar neutrinos with CE$\nu$NS and flavor-dependent radiative corrections
Abstract
We examine solar neutrinos in dark matter detectors including the effects of flavor-dependent radiative corrections to the CENS cross section. Working within a full three-flavor framework, and including matter effects within the Sun and Earth, detectors with thresholds keV and exposures of ton-year could identify contributions to the cross section beyond tree level. The differences between the cross sections for the flavors, combined with the difference in fluxes, would provide a new and unique method to study the muon and tau components of the solar neutrino flux. Flavor-dependent corrections induce a small day-night asymmetry of in the event rate, which if ultimately accessible would provide a novel probe of flavor oscillations.
