Solar Flare: a million Hiroshima bomb up to hundred thousands of million Hiroshima energy

Not only solar steady thermonuclear neutrinos, but also sudden flare pion ones

• When proton proton scatter in flare they may produce

pions decaying around 30 MeV neutrino energy . Indeed:

• The pions decay in muons and neutrinos
• The muon decay in electron and neutrinos that will

reach from the Sun to the Earth.

• The Earth has 2 main concurrent alternative noises:

solar MeVs neutrinos and hundred atmospheric ones

• Solar flare may shine first in neutrino and millisecond

later in X gamma and Cosmic ray signal at Megaton energy threshold

Why Why so so much much interest interest for for the 20 the 20° ° January January Solar Solar Flare Flare for for Neutrinos Neutrinos? ?

The simplest Flare estimate

• If the sudden flare proton rain do scatter

among the target solar atmosphere (as CR do with our terrestrial atmosphere) the consequent, prompt « solar flare atmosphere neutrino» above tens MeV energy, will be well detactable in Megaton neutrino detector

• As the same CR in Earth atmosphere.

Neutrino hitting water makes electrons

• r muons that running shine lights:

Cherenkov rings in SK or future HK

Solar flare, before mixing, by neutrino in solar thermonuclear noise versus Solar Flare, SF in SK

Arrival all

Expected event rate by SF

Minimal solar flare energy spectra by gamma at GeV imply detectable neutrino signals in Megaton

Why SK did not reveal yet these signals up to now?

Anyway

• The external magnetic line explosions in solar

flare may hit rarely external diluted solar atmosphere.

• However the lateral or the backward in a more

dense solar coronal atmosphere atmosphere may act as an efficent calorimeter

• Megaton or few Megaton neutrino detector will

soon discover several (or dozen) solar flare neutrino events.

Conclusions: Future HK in Japan and Korea..

• The asiatic neutrino efforts maybe the road map to a

solar flare astronomy

• Anti neutrino signals, anti electron ones, may be in

several event correlated with X-gamma flare

• With a noise free solar neutrino background.
• Few GeVs muon tracks (due to GeVs solar neutrino

flare) may point back to the sun while increasing the whole Megaton neutrino detector mass

• Why to care? What it is the social use ?
• Satellite security and astronauts lifes may depend on

the most fast solar flare neutrino alarm system

• Near 2020 the rise the golden age of a new solar

neutrino astronomy , possibly of at least two flavors

Thank you for the attention
