Abstract

The coupling of the baryonic current to new neutrino states νb with strength in excess of the weak interactions is a viable extension of the standard model. We analyze the signature of νb appearance in the solar neutrino flux that gives rise to an elastic scattering signal in dark matter direct detection and in solar neutrino experiments. This paper lays out an in-depth study of νb detection prospects for current and future underground rare event searches. We scrutinize the model as a possible explanation for the reported anomalies from DAMA, CoGeNT, and CRESST-II and confront it with constraints from other null experiments.
