Oscillations in Solar Models with Weakly Interacting Massive Particles
Abstract
Solar models containing concentrations as low as 10-11 by number of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), accreted from a galactic background population, are consistent with the observed flux of high-energy solar neutrinos. The structural changes produced in the solar core have also been shown to produce changes in the oscillation frequencies of g-modes and p-modes of low angular degree and high radial order. In this paper the authors examine the predictions for solar oscillations over a large range of possible WIMP properties.
