Radiative transitions of high energy neutrino in dense matter
The quantum theory of the “spin light” (electromagnetic radiation emitted by a massive neutrino propagating in dense matter due to the weak interaction of a neutrino with background fermions) is developed. In contrast to the Cherenkov radiation, this effect does not disappear even if the medium refractive index is assumed to be equal to unity. The formulas for the transition rate and the total ...
متن کاملTeV NEUTRINOS IN A DENSE MEDIUM
The dispersion relation of energetic (few TeV) neutrinos traversing a medium is studied. We use the real time formalism of thermal field theory and we include the effects from the propagator of the W gauge boson. We consider then the MSW oscillations for cosmic neutrinos traversing the Earth, adopting for the neutrino parameters values suggested by the LSND results. It is found that the νμ flux...
متن کاملHeating the intergalactic medium by radiative decay of neutrinos
Assuming that there exists a species of heavy sterile neutrinos (mν > 1 keV) and their decays can serve as a heating source of the hot gas in galaxy clusters, we study how the observational constraints on cooling flow limit the mass of these sterile neutrinos. We predict a relation among the luminosity, total mass and the redshift of a cluster, and we compare this relation with data from 12 clu...
متن کاملHigh-harmonic generation in a dense medium
The high-harmonic generation in a plasma or gas under conditions when the single-atom response is affected by neighboring ions or atoms of the medium is studied theoretically. We solve numerically the threedimensional Schrödinger equation for a single-electron atom in the combined fields of the neighboring particles and the laser, and average the results over different random positions of the p...
متن کاملHigh Energy Cosmic Neutrinos
While the general principles of high-energy neutrino detection have been understood for many years, the deep, remote geographical locations of suitable detector sites have challenged the ingenuity of experimentalists, who have confronted unusual deployment, calibration, and robustness issues. Two high energy neutrino programs are now operating (Baikal and AMANDA), with the expectation of usheri...
