Abstract

A new concept to solve the solar neutrino problem that is based on the hypothesis about the existence of a new interaction of electron neutrinos with nucleons mediated by massless pseudoscalar bosons is proposed. At each collision of a neutrino with nucleons of the Sun, its helicity changes from left- to right-handed and vice versa, and its energy decreases. The postulated hypothesis, having only one free parameter, provides good agreement between the calculated and experimental characteristics of all five observed processes with solar neutrinos.
