Seasonal and Energy Dependence of Solar Neutrino Vacuum Oscillations

We make a global vacuum neutrino oscillation analysis of solar neutrino data, including the seasonal and energy dependence of the recent Super-Kamiokande 708-day results. The best fit parameters for \nu_e oscillations to an active neutrino are \delta m^2 = 4.42\times10^{-10} eV^2, \sin^2 2\theta = 0.93. The allowed mixing angle region is consistent with bi-maximal mixing of three neutrinos. Oscillations to a sterile neutrino are disfavored. Allowing an enhanced hep neutrino flux does not significantly alter the oscillation parameters.Comment: Latex2.09, 10 pages, uses epsf.sty, 3 postscript figure

Quantum analysis of pharmacodynamics in phytotherapy - introduction

Фармакодинамиката като клон на общата фармакология се занимава с механизма на лекар-ственото действие и ефективността на лекарствените средства. В механизма на лекарствено действие се търсят и изследват взаимодействията на лекарствените молекули с определени би-ологични структури. Целта на настоящото изследване е да отговори на следните въпроси: 1. Достатъчно пълно ли е изяснен въпросът с механизма на взаимодействието на лекарственото вещество, респективно лекарствената молекула, с приемната клетка, тъкан или орган от физическото тяло. 2. Съществува ли единен универсален механизъм за обяснение на лекарствено действие на ми-крониво: атом, електрон, протон, елементарна частица - там, където няма разлика в условните понятия за жива и нежива материя. 3. Възможно ли е един единен механизъм на лечебно взаимодействие, получен в процесите на изследване на фитотерапевтични въздействия върху болната клетка, да се окаже универсален отговор на поставените тук въпроси?

The mechanism of drug action seeks and investigates the interactions of drug molecules with certain biological structures. The purpose of this research is to answer the following questions: 1. Is the issue of a mechanism for the interaction of the drug substance or drug molecule with the host cell, tissue or organ of the physical body sufficiently clear? 2. Is there a universal mechanism for explanation of the micro-level drug action: atom, electron, proton, elementary particle - where there is no difference in the relative concepts of living and non-living matter? 3. Is it possible that a single mechanism of healing interaction obtained in the phytotherapeutic effects study on the diseased cell would be a universal answer to the questions raised here? The subject of the study covers the theoretical, methodological and practical issues related to the development of a unified universal quantum analysis method with its principle of similarity applied in the pharmacodynamics processes of the drug substances in phytotherapy, in particular, and in pharmacotherapy in general.

Imprints of the nuclear symmetry energy on gravitational waves from the axial w-modes of neutron stars

The eigen-frequencies of the axial w-modes of oscillating neutron stars are studied using the continued fraction method with an Equation of State (EOS) partially constrained by the recent terrestrial nuclear laboratory data. It is shown that the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy $E_{sym}(\rho)$ affects significantly both the frequencies and the damping times of these modes. Besides confirming the previously found universal behavior of the mass-scaled eigen-frequencies as functions of the compactness of neutron stars, we explored several alternative universal scaling functions. Moreover, the $w_{II}$-mode is found to exist only for neutron stars having a compactness of $M/R\geq 0.1078$ independent of the EOS used.Comment: Version appeared in Phys. Rev. C80, 025801 (2009

A Study of the Day - Night Effect for the Super - Kamiokande Detector: I. Time Averaged Solar Neutrino Survival Probability

This is the first of two articles aimed at providing comprehensive predictions for the day-night (D-N) effect for the Super-Kamiokande detector in the case of the MSW \nu_e \to \numt transition solution of the solar neutrino problem. The one-year averaged probability of survival of the solar \nue crossing the Earth mantle, the core, the inner 2/3 of the core, and the (core + mantle) is calculated with high precision (better than 1%) using the elliptical orbit approximation (EOA) to describe the Earth motion around the Sun. Results for the survival probability in the indicated cases are obtained for a large set of values of the MSW transition parameters $\Delta m^2$ and $sin^22\theta_{V}$ from the ``conservative'' regions of the MSW solution, derived by taking into account possible relatively large uncertainties in the values of the $^{8}$B and $^{7}$Be neutrino fluxes. Our results show that the one-year averaged D-N asymmetry in the $\nu_e$ survival probability for neutrinos crossing the Earth core can be, in the case of $sin^22 \theta_{V} \leq 0.13$, larger than the asymmetry in the probability for (only mantle crossing + core crossing) neutrinos by a factor of up to six. The enhancement is larger in the case of neutrinos crossing the inner 2/3 of the core. This indicates that the Super-Kamiokande experiment might be able to test the $sin^22\theta_{V} \leq 0.01$ region of the MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem by performing selective D-N asymmetry measurements.Comment: LaTeX2e - 18 Text Pages + 21 figures = 39 Pages. - Figures in PS + text file sk1b14.tex requires two auxiliary files (included

Non-adiabatic level crossing in (non-) resonant neutrino oscillations

We study neutrino oscillations and the level-crossing probability P_{LZ}=\exp(-\gamma_n\F_n\pi/2) in power-law like potential profiles $A(r)\propto r^n$. After showing that the resonance point coincides only for a linear profile with the point of maximal violation of adiabaticity, we point out that the ``adiabaticity'' parameter $\gamma_n$ can be calculated at an arbitrary point if the correction function \F_n is rescaled appropriately. We present a new representation for the level-crossing probability, P_{LZ}=\exp(-\kappa_n\G_n), which allows a simple numerical evaluation of $P_{LZ}$ in both the resonant and non-resonant cases and where \G_n contains the full dependence of $P_{LZ}$ on the mixing angle $\theta$. As an application we consider the case $n=-3$ important for oscillations of supernova neutrinos.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, 3 eps figure

New Constraints on Neutrino Oscillations in Vacuum as a Possible Solution of the Solar Neutrino Problem

Two-neutrino oscillations in vacuum are studied as a possible solution of the solar neutrino problem. New constraints on the parameter sn2, characterizing the mixing of the electron neutrino with another active or sterile neutrino, as well as on the mass--squared difference, dm2, of their massive neutrino components, are derived using the latest results from the four solar neutrino experiments. Oscillations into a sterile neutrino are ruled out at 99 % C.L. by the observed mean event rates even if one includes the uncertainties of the standard solar model predictions in the analysis.Comment: 10 pages + 3 figures attached as postscript files, IFP-480-UNC and Ref.

Constraining a possible time variation of the gravitational constant G with terrestrial nuclear laboratory data

Testing the constancy of the gravitational constant G has been a longstanding fundamental question in natural science. As first suggested by Jofr\'{e}, Reisenegger and Fern\'{a}ndez [1], Dirac's hypothesis of a decreasing gravitational constant $G$ with time due to the expansion of the Universe would induce changes in the composition of neutron stars, causing dissipation and internal heating. Eventually, neutron stars reach their quasi-stationary states where cooling due to neutrino and photon emissions balances the internal heating. The correlation of surface temperatures and radii of some old neutron stars may thus carry useful information about the changing rate of G. Using the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy constrained by recent terrestrial laboratory data on isospin diffusion in heavy-ion reactions at intermediate energies and the size of neutron skin in $^{208}Pb$ within the gravitochemical heating formalism, we obtain an upper limit of the relative changing rate of $|\dot{G}/G|\le4\times 10^{-12}yr^{-1}$ consistent with the best available estimates in the literature.Comment: 27 pages, 11 figures, and 2 tables.

Chizhov and Petcov Reply

We have found in [1] new conditions for a total neutrino conversion in the case of neutrino oscillations taking place in a medium, consisting of n = 2 (or 3) alternating layers with constant densities $N_1$ and $N_2$. It is claimed in [4] that our results are particular case of enhancement of neutrino oscillations, which was suggested earlier by other authors and was widely discussed in the literature. We refute these claims, confirming the novelty of our results.Comment: 2 pages, LATEX; concise (essentially 1 page) and somewhat modified version of Ref.
