Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the evolution of the neutrino flux propagating through dense matter and an intensive magnetic field. As an example, the magnetic field of the coupled sunspots being the sources of solar flares is considered. We assume that neutrinos possess dipole magnetic and anapole moments while the magnetic field is twisting and nonpotential, and its strength may be ≥105 Gs. The problem is investigated within three neutrino generations. Possible resonance conversions inside the neutrino flux are studied.
