“…For a fixed energy from this interval, the oscillation length of the probability P e (t) has a maximum value at the matter density of the Sun corresponding to the extremal electron density (10). When the neutrino energy increases from 0.827 to 18.8 MeV, the extremal density of matter decreases from 148 to 6.51 g/cm 3 . The oscillation length of the probability P e (t) takes a minimum value at one of the boundary points of the matter density range [0, 148] g/cm 3 .…”

The oscillation length of the probability P e (t) takes a minimum value at one of the boundary points of the matter density range [0, 148] g/cm 3 . At the neutrino energy E = 18.8 MeV, the oscillation length of the probability P e (t) lies in the interval from 134 km to 1028 km, i.e., from 0.000193R 0 to 0.00148R 0 , at which it is equal to L(0) = 968 km at the exit from the Sun.…”

“…First, an elegant alternative solution to the solar neutrino problem based on the hypothesis of the existence of a new interaction has appeared [3]. The carrier of this interaction is the postulated massless pseudoscalar boson, which has a Yukawa coupling to, at least, electron neutrinos and nucleons but not to electrons.…”

The knowledge of the parameters of the solar neutrino oscillation model, provided by the SNO and Super-Kamiokande Collaborations, enables us to obtain, with the Wolfenstein equation, a simple and clear analytical and numerical picture of the transformation of the neutrino state during its travel inside the Sun. We show that the resulting picture is not implicated in the characteristics of the neutrino state at the surface of the Sun and at the surface of the Earth. This circumstance with taking into account the volume distribution of solar neutrino sources indicates an obvious contradiction between the consequences of the MSW mechanism with parameters from SNO and Super-Kamiokande and the results of three of the five observed processes with solar neutrinos. The assertions at the base of the MSW mechanism are discussed.

In this work, first of all, a number of hidden aspects of the concept of particle oscillations are analyzed. The key element of this concept, which does not comply with the principle of least action, is the notion of a mixture of particles, introduced by Gell–Mann, and Pais for neutral ‐mesons. It is proven that the law of conservation of energy‐momentum in the processes of electron neutrino production does not allow solving the problem of solar neutrinos based on the assumption of Gribov and Pontecorvo about their oscillations. It is established that the consequences of Wolfenstein's equation contradict the results of the SNO and Super‐Kamiokande collaborations and that the assertion by Mikheev and Smirnov on the conversion of solar neutrinos is erroneous. Another part of the work is devoted to a logically clear solution to this problem based on the hypothesis of the existence of a new interaction, the carrier of which is a massless pseudoscalar boson, which has a Yukawa coupling with electron neutrinos and nucleons. At each act of interaction of an electron neutrino with the nucleons of the Sun, caused by such interaction, the handedness of the neutrino changes from left to right and vice versa, and also the neutrino energy decreases. The hypothesis provides good agreement between the theoretical and experimental values of the rates of all five observed processes with solar neutrinos. This serves as a significant criterion for both the confidence of such a solution to the problem of solar neutrinos and the confidence of the existence of a new interaction.
