A New Model of Solar Neutrinos in Manifest Violation of CPT Invariance
The large mixing mass (LMA)-MSW model of solar neutrinos (nu sub e) is now iwdely held to be near definitive, based on global consistency with data. No physical effect, however, compels its uniqueness. The present search for an explicitly testable competitive model was stimulated by a surprising finding -- the high energy part of the standard solar model (SSM)8B nu sub e spectrum can be scaled very precisely to observed flux levels without measurable shape distortion via sensitive combinations of long wavelength flavor conversion in vacuum and a 8B nu sub e flux theta(B)
