Large Extra Dimensions, Sterile Neutrinos and Solar Neutrino Data

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
Solar, atmospheric, and LSND neutrino oscillation results require a light sterile neutrino, {nu}{sub B} , which can exist in the bulk of extra dimensions. Solar {nu}{sub e} , confined to the brane, can oscillate in the vacuum to the zero mode of {nu}{sub B} and via successive Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein transitions to Kaluza-Klein states of {nu}{sub B} . This new way to fit solar data is provided by both low and intermediate string scale models. From average rates seen in the three types of solar experiments, the Super-Kamiokande spectrum is predicted with 73% probability, but dips characteristic of the 0.06 mm extra dimension should be seen in the SNO spectrum.
