ABSTRACT

The neutrino electromagnetic moment matrix and the possibility that some of the elements of this matrix are of the order of 10-10 of the Bohr magneton are discussed. Flavor oscillations and spin precession are examined for a neutrino in a magnetic field in the presence of matter. The interaction between solar neutrinos and the magnetic field in the interior of the convective zone of the Sun can lead, in this case, to the 11-year and semiannual variations in the neutrino flux, shown experimentally to be correlated with the magnetic activity of the Sun.
