Possible violation of the equivalence principle by neutrinos.
We consider the effect of a long range, flavor changing tensor interaction of possible gravitational origin. Neutrino mixing experiments provide the most sensitive probe to date for such forces—testing the equivalence principle at levels below 10 −20. Here we justify and generalize a formalism for describing such effects. The constraints from neutrino mixing experiments on gravitationally induc...
متن کاملPulsar Velocities Due to a Violation of the Equivalence Principle by Neutrinos
We consider the pulsar velocity problem and relate it to some unconven-tional neutrino oscillation mechanisms based on a violation of the equivalence principle by neutrinos. We show that the observed pulsar velocities may be explained by violations at the level from 10 −9 to 10 −10 in the case of a non-universal tensor neutrino-gravity coupling, whereas there is no solution in the case of a non...
متن کاملTesting the principle of equivalence by solar neutrinos.
We discuss the possibility of testing the principle of equivalence with solar neutrinos. If there exists a violation of the equivalence principle quarks and leptons with different flavors may not universally couple with gravity. The method we discuss employs a quantum mechanical phenomenon of neutrino oscillation to probe into the non-universality of the gravitational couplings of neutrinos. We...
متن کاملTesting the principle of equivalence by supernova neutrinos
We study the possible impact of the neutrino oscillation which could be induced by a tiny violation of equivalence principle (VEP) for neutrinos emitted from supernova driven by gravitational collapse. Due to the absence of any significant indication of neutrino oscillation in the SN1987A data, we obtain sever bounds on relevant VEP parameters δγ ∼ O(10−31) for massless or degenerated neutrinos...
متن کاملEquivalence Principle parity violation tests
Gravitation is parity symmetric or antisymmetric. Mass distribution parity divergence varies from χ = 0 (achiral) to χ = 1 (perfect). A parity Eötvös experiment contrasts chemically and macroscopically identical enantiomorphic space groups P3121 and P3221 α-quartz single crystal test masses. A parity calorimetry experiment contrasts P3121 and P3221 benzil single crystals enthalpies of fusion. ...
