Massless Neutrino Oscillations
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum dynamical semigroups provide a general framework for studying the evolution of open systems. Neutrino propagation both in vacuum and in matter can be analyzed using these techniques: they allow a consistent treatment of non-standard, dissipative effects that can alter the pattern of neutrino oscillations. In particular, initially massless neutrinos can give rise to a nonvanishing flavour transition probability, involving in addition the Majorana CP -violating mixing phase.

Medium effects in string-dilaton-induced neutrino oscillations
We consider the unconventional way to interpret the current data on solar neutrino oscillations as derived recently by Halprin and Leung from a string model based on the existence of the string dilaton field which remains massless in the low-energy world. The equivalence principle violation entailed by the existence of a massless dilaton may then produce neutrino oscillations even for neutrinos...
متن کاملneutrino oscillations
The original B. Pontecorvo idea of neutrino oscillations is discussed. Neutrino mixing and basics of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter are considered. Recent evidences in favour of neutrino oscillations, obtained in the Super-Kamiokande, SNO, KamLAND and other neutrino experiments are discussed. Neutrino oscillations in the solar and atmospheric ranges of the neutrino mass-squared d...
متن کامل2 Nonequilibrium massless neutrinos
The neutrino role in primordial nucleosynthesis is reviewed. The importance of nonequilibrium effects is emphasized both for the standard massless and possibly massive neutrinos. The upper bound on tau neutrino mass is presented. A spatial variation of primordial abundances and a possibility of observing them by precise measurements of the CMB anisotropy are considered.The nucleosyn-thesis boun...
متن کاملLorentz-noninvariant Neutrino Oscillations: Model and Predictions
We present a three-parameter neutrino-oscillation model for three flavors of massless neutrinos with Fermi-point splitting and tri-maximal mixing angles. One of these parameters is the T–violating phase ǫ, for which the experimental results from K2K and KamLAND appear to favor a nonzero value. In this article, we give further model predictions for neutrino oscillations. Upcoming experiments wil...
متن کاملFcnc Solutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem
In his seminal paper 1 Lincoln Wolfenstein considered flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) effects on neutrino oscillations. He noticed that if the neutrino current in the effective four-fermion interaction Lagrangian has a flavor nonsymmetric part it can significantly affect neutrino oscillations by changing the neutrino indices of refraction in matter. Furthermore, if the neutrinos are mass...
