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 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 ...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations : a Global Analysis
We review the status of the neutrino oscillation physics (as of June 2003), with a particular emphasis on the present knowledge of the neutrino mass-mixing parameters in a three generation approach. We consider first the ν µ → ν τ flavor transitions of atmospheric neutrinos. It is found that standard oscillations provide the best description of the SK+K2K data, and that the associated mass-mixi...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations for Dummies
The reality of neutrino oscillations has not really sunk in yet. The phenomenon presents us with purely quantum mechanical effects over macroscopic time and distance scales (milliseconds and 1000s of km). In order to help with the pedagogical difficulties this poses, I attempt here to present the physics in words and pictures rather than math. No disrespect is implied by the title; I am merely ...
متن کاملSearching for Neutrino Oscillations
BEAM LINE 9 HYSICISTS FROM AROUND the world are engaged in a wide variety of experiments to determine whether neutrinos have mass. This possibility has intrigued physicists and cosmologists for two decades, ever since neutrinos emerged as a leading candidate for the dark matter thought to inhabit the Universe. A comprehensive new experiment is being built in Illinois and Minnesota to study neut...
