we present a covariant ray tracing algorithm for computing high-resolution neutrino distributions in general relativistic numerical spacetimes with hydrodynamical sources. our formulation treats the very important effect of elastic scattering of neutrinos off of nuclei and nucleons (changing the neutrino's direction bu...
elastic scattering in general relativistic ray tracing for neutrinos
neutrinos produced in extragalactic sources may experience flavor-oscillations and decoherence on their way to earth due to their interaction with dark matter (dm). as a result, they may be detected in pointer-states other than the flavor states produced at the source. the oscillation pattern and the structure of the p...
extragalactic neutrinos as tracers of dark matter?
as a result of a nontrivial mixing matrix, neutrinos cannot be simultaneously in a flavor and mass eigenstate. we formulate and discuss information entropic relations that quantify the associated quantum uncertainty. we also formulate a protocol to determine the pontecorvo-maki-nakagawa-sakata (pmns) matrix from quantu...
neutrino flavor-mass uncertainty relations and an entanglement-assisted determination of the pmns matrix
it is known in vacuum that the three-flavor neutrino survival probability can be approximated by the effective two-flavor form to first orders in ɛ≡ δm 21 2 / δm 31 2 , with introduction of the effective δmαα2 ( α = e, μ, τ), in regions of neutrino energy e and baseline l such that δm 31 2 l/2 e ∼ π. here, we investiga...
an effective two-flavor approximation for neutrino survival probabilities in matter
we recently studied neutrinos flavor oscillations in vacuum within conformal coupling models. in this paper, we extend that analysis by investigating neutrino flavor oscillations inside matter within a general conformal coupling scenario. we first derive the general formula for the flavor transition probability inside ...
neutrino flavor oscillations inside matter in conformal coupling models
the geometric picture of neutrino oscillations offers a unique way to study the quantum mechanics of this phenomenon. in this picture, the propagation of a neutrino beam is described by a density matrix evolving in a state space with non-trivial geometry. we derive explicit expressions of the mixed state geometric phas...
