Large mixing angle oscillations as a probe of the deep solar interior
Abstract
We re-examine the sensitivity of solar neutrino oscillations to noise in the solar interior using the best current estimates of neutrino properties. Our results show that the measurement of neutrino properties at KamLAND can provide new information about fluctuations in the solar environment on scales to which standard helioseismic constraints are largely insensitive. We argue that a resonance between helioseismic and Alfven waves might provide a physical mechanism for generating these fluctuations and, if so, neutrino-oscillation measurements could be used to constrain the size of magnetic fields deep within the solar radiative zone.Keywords
