Dynamical phase transitions in models of collective neutrino oscillations

چکیده
Collective neutrino oscillations can potentially play an important role in transporting lepton flavor astrophysical scenarios where the density is large, typical examples are early universe and supernova explosions. It has been argued past that simple models of Hamiltonian designed to describe forward scattering support substantial evolution on very short time scales $t\approx\log(N)/(G_F\rho_\nu)$, with $N$ number neutrinos, $G_F$ Fermi constant $\rho_\nu$ density. This finding tension results for similar but exactly solvable which $t\approx\sqrt{N}/(G_F\rho_\nu)$ instead. In this work we provide a coherent explanation terms Dynamical Phase Transitions (DPT) study possible impact DPT could have more realistic their mean-field approximation.

Symmetries in collective neutrino oscillations
We discuss the relationship between a symmetry in the neutrino flavour evolution equations and neutrino flavour oscillations in the collective precession mode. This collective precession mode can give rise to spectral swaps (splits) when conditions can be approximated as homogeneous and isotropic. Multi-angle numerical simulations of supernova neutrino flavour transformation show that when this...
متن کاملDiscrete Kinetic Models for Dynamical Phase Transitions
In this paper, we shall describe discrete kinetic models, which serve as a novel and systematical way to regularize a mixed-type system describing the dynamical phase transitions. In the limit of zero mean free path, it is expected to provide abundant reasonable kinetic relations and nucleation criteria for constructing Riemann solvers. Some particular models have been investigated theoreticall...
متن کاملThe Phase of Neutrino Oscillations
Using an analogy with the well-known double-slit experiment, we show that the standard phase of neutrino oscillations is correct, refuting recent claims of a factor of two correction. We also improve the wave packet treatment of neutrino oscillations taking into account explicitly the finite coherence time of the detection process. The experimental and theoretical investigation of neutrino osci...

متن کاملSelf-induced suppression of collective neutrino oscillations in a supernova.
We investigate collective flavor oscillations of supernova neutrinos at late stages of the explosion. We first show that the frequently used single-angle (averaged coupling) approximation predicts oscillations close to, or perhaps even inside, the neutrinosphere, potentially invalidating the basic neutrino transport paradigm. Fortunately, we also find that the single-angle approximation breaks ...
