Neutrinos and Lepton - Flavour – Violation ∗
The standard model (SM) of particle physics successfully describes a variety of phenomena in terms of a few fundamental quantities. Besides the gauge coupling constants associated to the fundamental interactions, and the scalar sector responsible for spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking, the major part of adjustable parameters are related to the fermion sector describing the masses and mix...
متن کاملFlavour-conserving oscillations of Dirac-Majorana neutrinos
We analyze both chirality-changing and chirality-preserving transitions of DiracMajorana neutrinos. In vacuum, the first ones are suppressed with respect to the others due to helicity conservation and the interactions with a (“normal”) medium practically does not affect the expressions of the probabilities for these transitions, even if the amplitudes of oscillations slightly change. For usual ...
متن کاملFlavour transitions of Dirac-Majorana neutrinos
From a phenomenological point of view, we study active-active and active-sterile flavour-changing (and flavour-conserving) oscillations of Dirac-Majorana neutrinos both in vacuum and in matter. The general expressions for the transition probabilities in vacuum are reported. We then investigate some interesting consequences following from particular simple forms of the neutrino mass matrices, an...
متن کاملSpin-Flavour Oscillations and Neutrinos from SN1987A
The neutrino signal from SN1987A is analysed with respect to spin-flavour oscillations between electron antineutrinos, ν̄e, and muon neutrinos, νμ, by means of a maximum likelihood analysis. Following Jegerlehner et al. best fit values for the total energy released in neutrinos, Et, and the temperature of the electron antineutrino, Tν̄e , for a range of mixing parameters and progenitor models are...
متن کاملNeutrinos from Stellar Collapse: Effects of flavour mixing
We study the effect of non-vanishing masses and mixings among neutrino flavours on the detection of neutrinos from stellar collapse by a water Cerenkov detector. We consider a realistic frame-work in which there are three neutrino flavours whose mass squared differences and mixings are constrained by the present understanding of solar and atmospheric neutrinos. We also include the effects of hi...
