22 Aug 2001 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D65 (2002) 073022 | | Subject: | hep-ph hep-ex | | Abstract: | We perform a global analysis of the latest solar neutrino data including the SNO result on the CC-event rate. This result further favors the LMA solution of the solar neutrino problem. The best fit values of parameters we find are: Delta m^2 = (4.8 - 5.0)10^{-5} eV^2, tan^2 heta = 0.35 - 0.38, f_B = 1.08 - 1.12, and f_{hep} = 1 - 4. With respect to this best fit the LOW solution is accepted at 90% C.L.. The Vacuum oscillation solution with Delta m^2 = 1.4 10^{-10} eV^2, gives good fit of the data provided that the boron neutrino flux is substantially smaller than the SSM flux (f_B sim 0.5). The SMA solution is accepted only at 3sigma level. We find that vacuum oscillations to sterile neutrino, VAC(sterile), with f_B sim 0.5 also give rather good global fit of the data. All other sterile solutions are strongly disfavored. We check the quality of the fit by constructing the pull-off diagrams of observables. Predictions for the day-night asymmetry, spectrum distortion and NC/CC ratio at SNO are calculated. In the best fit points of the global solutions we find: A_{DN}^{CC} approx (7 - 8)% for LMA, sim 3% for LOW, and (2 - 3)% for SMA. It will be difficult to see the distortion of the spectrum expected for LMA as well as LOW solutions. However, future SNO spectral data can significantly affect the VAC and SMA solutions. We also calculate expectations for the BOREXINO rate. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0108177 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
