Abstract

The spin flavor precession (SFP) is investigated in the three neutrino generation case assuming that the neutrinos are of Majorana type. Approximate analytical formulas including all transition magnetic moments are provided for the electron neutrino survival probability and nu(e) -> (nu) over bar (e) transition probability in the SFP framework. The accuracy of the formulas is checked for two different magnetic field profiles in the Sun.
