Description
In the last few decades we have entered a new era in neutrino
observations, from cosmic neutrino background detection proposals to high
energy neutrinos astronomy. As theorists, we have to provide the expected
flux at different energies. In this poster, I will present a previous
overlooked contribution to the "grand unified neutrino spectrum" at
Earth: the Solar neutrino thermal flux at keV energies. Besides being a
signal, such a flux would also be the background for a futuristic keV
sterile neutrino direct detection experiment. I will review the processes
contributing to this spectrum, with particular emphasis on thermal effects
due to the presence of a plasma.
