The Charged Neutrino: A New Approach to the Solar Neutrino Problem

We have considered the effect of the reduction of the solar neutrino flux on earth due to the deflection of the charged neutrino by the magnetic field of the solar convective zone. The antisymmetry of this magnetic field about the plane of the solar equator induces the anisotropy of the solar neutrino flux thus creating the deficit of the neutrino flux on the earth. The deficit has been estimated in terms of solar and neutrino parameters and the condition of a 50 \% deficit has been obtained: Q_{\nu} gradH \agt 10^{-18} eG/cm where $Q_{\nu}$ is the neutrino electric charge, $gradH$ is the gradient of the solar toroidal magnetic field, e is the electron charge. Some attractive experimental consequences of this scenario are qualitatively discussed.Comment: 15 pages, UM-P/94-26, in REVTE

Maverick Examples Of Coset Conformal Field Theories

We present coset conformal field theories whose spectrum is not determined by the identification current method. In these ``maverick'' cosets there is a larger symmetry identifying primary fields than under the identification current. We find an A-D-E classification of these mavericks. }Comment: 16pages , reportSWAT-93-0

Magnetic Monopole and the Finite Photon Mass: Are They Compatible?

We analyze the role played by the gauge invariance for the existence of Dirac monopole. To this end, we consider the electrodynamics with massive photon and ask if the magnetic charge can be introduced there. We show that the derivation of the Dirac quantization condition based on the angular momentum algebra cannot be generalized to the case of massive electrodynamics. Possible implications of this result are briefly discussed.Comment: 12 pages, revtex, no figure
