Solar flares and their associated processes

Abstract

Consideration is being given to the neutrino system governed by the wave function Ψ T = (ν eL , ν XL , ν eL , ν XL ) traveling in the region of the solar flare (SF). Our treatment of the problem holds for any standard model (SM) extensions in which massive neutrinos possess nonzero dipole magnetic and anapole moments. The possible resonance conversions of the electron neutrinos are examined. Since the ν eL → ν XL and ν eL → ν XL -resonances take place in the convective zone, their existence can in no way be connected with the SF. However, when the solar neutrino flux moves through the SF region in the preflare period, then it undergoes the additional resonance conversions resulting in appearance of the ν eL and ν XL neutrinos. On the other hand, according to the hypothesis of the ν e -induced β-decays weakening the electron neutrinos flux leads to the decrease of the β-decay rate for some elements. So, under passage of the electron neutrino flux through the region of the SF, the following four phenomena could be detected: (i) decreasing the number of the electron neutrinos; (ii) appearance of the ν eL neutrinos; (iii) increasing the amount of the ν XL -neutrinos; (iv) reduction of the β-decay rate for some elements of the periodic table.The possible influence of the electron antineutrino flux produced in the superflares on the regime of the hypothetical georeactor is considered.
