Monte Carlo simulation of an experiment looking for radiative solar neutrino decays
arXiv:hep-ph/0309107 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2003.11.001
Abstract
We analyse the possibility of detecting visible photons from a hypothetical radiative decay of solar neutrinos. Our study is focused on the simulation of such measurements during total solar eclipses and it is based on the BP2000 Standard Solar Model and on the most recent experimental information concerning the neutrino properties.
