Chameleon-neutrino conformal coupling and MSW-mediated solar neutrino deficit
arXiv:2201.02927 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2024.138493
Abstract
A modified version of the MSW effect is studied within the framework of screening models through conformal couplings of a scalar field within matter. Such a coupling leads to a new, unknown interaction between the scalar field and the neutrino. We mainly look for the discrepancy in the total solar electron-neutrinos flux through this interaction. Since the scalar field behavior depends on the local density of matter, we observe an indirect effect of matter on flavor changes, and subsequently, on neutrino flux through neutrino decay. The paper ends by describing various probabilities and comparing the results with observational data.
