Abstract
The Be/B neutrino flux anomaly has been examined within the framework of the resonant spin-flavor precession scenario with twisting solar magnetic fields. It is found that the twist of the toroidal component of the solar magnetic field, leads naturally to a complete disappearance of 7 Be neutrinos emerging from one of the solar hemispheres. However, the 7 Be neutrino flux emerging from the other solar hemisphere with oppositely twisted magnetic field must survive completely. Thus, this scenario predicts seasonal variations of the 7 Be neutrino flux to be observed in the Borexino experiment.
