Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 4314 - 4317 (1997)Neutrino-Modulino Mixing
Karim Benakli1 and Alexei Yu. Smirnov2 Received 7 July 1997 We suggest an existence of light singlet fermion, S, which interacts with observable matter only via Planck mass suppressed interaction: ∼m3/2/MP, where m3/2 is the supergravity gravitino mass. If the mass of the singlet equals ∼m3/22/MP, then νe→S resonance conversion solves the solar neutrino problem or leads to observable effects. The νS mixing changes supernova neutrino fluxes and has an impact on the primordial nucleosynthesis. The singlet S can originate as the supersymmetric partner of the moduli fields in supergravity or low energy effective theory stemming from superstrings. The νS mixing may be accompanied by observable R-parity breaking effects. ©1997 The American Physical Society
