Phenomenological neutrino mass matrix for neutrino oscillations and dark matter [PDF]
A phenomenological neutrino mass matrix is proposed to explain the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits and to present the neutrino as a candidate of hot dark matter in the $3\nu_L+3\nu_R$ framework. The realization of mixing angles which can explain the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems is taken as the first criterion in this construction ...

The Solar Neutrino Problem—A Progress(?) Report
The conflict between observation and theoretical prediction of the flux of electron neutrinos from the sun has advanced in the past year from being merely difficult to understand to being impossible to live with.

Low Energy Neutrino Physics after SNO and KamLAND
In the recent years important discoveries in the field of low energy neutrino physics (E$_\nu$ in the $\approx$ MeV range) have been achieved. Results of the solar neutrino experiment SNO show clearly flavor transitions from $\nu_e$ to $\nu_{\mu,\tau ...

A Broad Set of Solar and Cosmochemical Data Indicates High C-N-O Abundances for the Solar System
We examine the role of refractory organics as a major C carrier in the outer protosolar nebula and its implications for the compositions of large Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and CI chondrites.

Bilinear R-parity Violation and Small Neutrino Masses: a Self-consistent Framework [PDF]
We study extensions of supersymmetric models without R-parity which include an anomalous U(1)_H horizontal symmetry. Bilinear R-parity violating terms induce a neutrino mass at tree level of approximately $(\theta^2)^\delta$ eV where $\theta\approx 0.22$

An Expanded Set of Los Alamos OPLIB Tables in MESA: Type-1 Rosseland-mean Opacities and Solar Models
We present a set of 1194 Type-1 Rosseland-mean opacity tables for four different metallicity mixtures. These new Los Alamos OPLIB atomic radiative opacity tables are an order of magnitude larger in number than any previous opacity table release, and span

Zenith angle distributions at Super-Kamiokande and SNO and the solution of the solar neutrino problem [PDF]
We have performed a detailed study of the zenith angle dependence of the regeneration factor and distributions of events at SNO and SK for different solutions of the solar neutrino problem.

A Natural Framework for Solar and 17 keV Neutrinos
Motivated by recent experimental claims for the existence of a 17 keV neutrino and by the solar neutrino problem, we construct a class of models which contain in their low-energy spectrum a single light sterile neutrino and one or more Nambu-Goldstone ...

Comments on the determination of the neutrino mass ordering in reactor neutrino experiments [PDF]
We consider the problem of determination of the neutrino mass ordering via precise study of the vacuum neutrino oscillations in the JUNO and other future medium baseline reactor neutrino experiments. We are proposing to resolve neutrino mass ordering by determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters from analysis of the data of the reactor ...
