This article presents a comparative analysis of solar activity data, Mt Wilson diameter data, Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino data, and nuclear decay data acquired at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (LMSU). We propose that salient periodicities in all of these datasets may be attributed to r-mode oscillations. Periodicities in the solar activity data and in Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino data may be attributed to r-mode oscillations in the known tachocline, with normalized radius in the range 0.66 to 0.74, where the sidereal rotation rate is in the range 13.7 to 14.6 year-1. We propose that periodicities in the Mt Wilson and LMSU data may be attributed to similar r-mode oscillations where the sidereal rotation rate is approximately which we attribute to a hypothetical inner tachocline separating a slowly rotating core from the radiative zone. We also discuss the possible role of the RSFP (Resonant Spin Flavor Precession) process, which leads to estimates of the neutrino magnetic moment and of the magnetic field strength in or near the solar core.

We are going back to the roots of the original solar neutrino problem: analysis of data from solar neutrino experiments. The application of standard deviation analysis (SDA) and diffusion entropy analysis (DEA) to the SuperKamiokande I and II data re veals that they represent a non-Gaussian signal. The Hurst exponent is different from the scaling exponent of the probability density function and both Hurst exponent and scaling exponent of the probability density function of the SuperKamiokande data deviate considerably from the value of 0.5 which indicates that the statistics of the underlying phenomenon is anomalous. To develop a road to the possible interpretation of this finding we utilize Mathais pathway model and consider fractional reaction and fractional diffusion as possible explanations of the non-Gaussian content of the SuperKamiokande data.
The evolution of the solar activity comprises, apart from the well-known 11-year cycle, various temporal scales ranging from months up to the secondary cycles known as mid-term oscillations. Its nature deserves a physical explanation. In this work, w e consider the 5-to-6 year oscillations as derived both from sunspot and from solar magnetic dipole time series. Using the solar dynamo model, we deduced that these variations may be a manifestation of the dynamo nonlinearities and non-harmonic shape of the solar activity cycles. We conclude that the observed mid-term oscillations are related to the nonlinear saturation of the dynamo processes in the solar interior.
The complete and concurrent Homestake and Kamiokande solar neutrino data sets (including backgrounds), when compared to detailed model predictions, provide no unambiguous indication of the solution to the solar neutrino problem. All neutrino-based so lutions, including time-varying models, provide reasonable fits to both the 3 year concurrent data and the full 20 year data set. A simple constant B neutrino flux reduction is ruled out at greater than the 4$sigma$ level for both data sets. While such a flux reduction provides a marginal fit to the unweighted averages of the concurrent data, it does not provide a good fit to the average of the full 20 year sample. Gallium experiments may not be able to distinguish between the currently allowed neutrino-based possibilities.
Atmospheric neutrinos at low energies, $E lsim 500$ MeV, is known to be a rich source of information of lepton mixing parameters. We formulate a simple perturbative framework to elucidate the characteristic features of neutrino oscillation at around the solar-scale enhancement due to the matter effect. The clearest message we could extract from our perturbation theory is that CP violation in the appearance oscillation probability is large, a factor of $sim 10$ times larger than CP violation at around the atmospheric-scale oscillation maximum. Underlying mechanism for it is that one of the suppression factors on the CP phase dependent terms due to smallness of $Delta m^2_{21} / Delta m^2_{31}$ are dynamically lifted by the solar-scale enhancement. Our framework has a unique feature as a perturbation theory in which large $Delta m^2_{31}$ term outside the key 1-2 sector for the solar-scale resonance does not yield sizeable corrections. On the contrary, the larger the $Delta m^2_{31}$, the smaller the higher order corrections.
In this article, we report an evidence of very high and statistically significant relationship between hemispheric asymmetry in solar coronal rotation rate and solar activity. Our approach is based on cross correlation of hemispheric asymmetry index (AI) in rotation rate with annual solar activity indicators. To obtain hemispheric asymmetry in solar rotation rate, we use solar full disc (SFD) images at 30.4 nm, 19.5 nm, and 28.4 nm wavelengths for 24th Solar Cycle i.e., for the period from 2008 to 2018, as recorded by the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) space mission. Our analysis shows that hemispheric asymmetry in rotation rate is high during the solar maxima from 2011 to 2014. On the other hand, hemispheric asymmetry drops gradually on both sides (i.e., from 2008 to 2011 and from 2014 to 2018). The results show that asymmetry index (AI) leads sunspot numbers by ~1.56 years. This gives a clear indication that hemispheric asymmetry triggers the formation of sunspots working together with the differential rotation of the Sun.
