• TITLE: Quasi-Biennial Modulation of the Solar Neutrino Flux: A “Telescope” for the Solar Interior

  ABSTRACT: An oscillating magnetic field deep within the solar radiative region can significantly alter the helioseismic g-modes. The presence of density gradients along g-modes, can excite Alfvén waves resonantly, the resulting waveforms show sharp spikes in the density profile at radii comparable with the neutrino’s resonant oscillation length. This process should explain the observed quasi-biennial modulation of the solar neutrino flux. If confirmed, the coupling between solar neutrino flux and g-modes should be used as a “telescope” for the solar interior.
