Extending the sensitivity of heavy sterile neutrino searches with solar neutrino experiments

Abstract A sensitivity study of the search for heavy sterile neutrinos ($\nu_H$) in the MeV mass range using solar neutrino experiments is presented. $\nu_H$, with masses ranging from a few MeV up to around 15 MeV, can be produced in the Sun through $^8$B decay and subsequently d...
