Abstract

The Voloshin-Vysotski-Okun proposal of a large neutrino magnetic moment in the range (0.3−1)×10 −10 μ B as a solution to the solar neutrino problem is examined from the fundamental viewpoint of attempting to reconcile such values with the well-known smallness of neutrino masses. It is seen that the particle physics models that are able to implement the required neutrino magnetic moments for the VVO solution fail to provide small masses, thus questioning the realization of this attractive solution.
