Hypothesis of a new fundamental interaction versus the particle oscillation concept [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2301.03366


The emergence of a logically simple solution to the solar neutrino problem based on the hypothesis of the existence of a new interaction involving electron neutrinos and nucleons did not weaken the dominance of the oscillation concept. Therefore, a significant part of the present work is devoted to proving that the basic elements of this concept either do not correspond to the principles of classical logic, or violate the energy-momentum conservation law, or contradict the quantum mechanical basis of coherence, or represent a primitive falsehood. Our analysis concerns successively all stages of the formation of the concept from its conceiving to the assertion about the conversion of the solar electron neutrino into a muon one. When discussing a new fundamental interaction, we note the decisive role in the outcome of the processes of changing the handedness of a neutrino (antineutrino) at each act of its interaction with a real or virtual massless pseudoscalar boson, due to which, at the exit from the Sun, the fluxes of left- and right-handed electron neutrinos become approximately equal. Thanks to the new interaction, beta decays of nuclei have a mode with the emission of a massless pseudoscalar boson, at which the antineutrino changes its handedness and becomes unobservable, what is the essence of the reactor antineutrino anomaly. The nature of the gallium anomaly is similar.
