The Solar Neutrino Problem and Gravitationally Induced Long-wavelength Neutrino Oscillation

Abstract

We have reexamined the possibility of explaining the solar neutrino problem through long-wavelength neutrino oscillations induced by a tiny breakdown of the weak equivalence principle of general relativity. We found that such gravitationally induce oscillations can provide a viable solution to the solar neutrino problem.
