Abstract
The XENON1T collaboration recently reported an excess in electron recoil events in the energy range between 1-7 keV. This excess could be understood to originate from the known solar neutrino flux if neutrinos couple to a light vector mediator with strength g(vN) that kinetically mixes with the photon with strength chi and g(vN)chi similar to 10(-13). Here, we show that such coupling values can naturally arise in a renormalizable model of long-range vector-mediated neutrino self-interactions. The model could be distinguished from other explanations of the XENON1T excess by the characteristic 1/T-2 energy dependence of the neutrino-electron scattering cross section. Other signatures include invisible Higgs and Z decays and leptophilic charged Higgses at a few 100 GeV. ALPS II will probe part of the viable parameter space.
