Abstract

We analyze here how solar neutrino experiments could detect time fluctuations of the solar neutrino flux due to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) perturbations of the solar plasma. We state that if such time fluctuations are detected, this would provide a unique signature of the Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession (RSFP) mechanism as a solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem.
