Neutrino oscillations in noisy media.

چکیده
We develop the Reddeld equation for delta-correlated gaussian noise and apply it to the case of two neutrino avor or spin precession in the presence of a noisy matter density or magnetic eld, respectively. The criteria under which physical uctuations can be well approximated by the delta-correlated gaussian noise for the above cases are examined. Current limits on the possible neutrino magnetic moment and solar magnetic eld suggest that a reasonably noisy solar magnetic eld would not appreciably aaect the solar electron neutrino ux. However, if the solar electron density has uctuations of a few percent of the local density and a small enough correlation length, the MSW eeect is suppressed for a range of parameters.

متن کاملFloquet theory of neutrino oscillations in the earth ∗
We review the Floquet theory of linear differential equations with periodic coefficients and discuss its applications to neutrino oscillations in matter of periodically varying density. In particular, we consider parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations which can occur in such media, and discuss implications for oscillations of neutrinos traversing the earth and passing through the earth's...
متن کاملNeutrino Conversion and Neutrino Astrophysics *
We consider main ingredients which determine neutrino transformations in media. Strong transformations relevant for the astrophysics can be due to large depth oscillations, resonance conversion, parametric resonance effect, interplay of oscillations and inelastic collisions. Properties of transitions are discussed using the graphic representation. The applications of the transitions to supernov...
متن کاملInfluence of solar chaotic magnetic fields on neutrino oscillations
We consider the effect of a random magnetic field in the convective zone of the Sun on resonant neutrino spin-flavour oscillations. The expected signals in the different experiments (SK,GALLEX-SAGE,Homestake) are obtained as a function of the level of noise, regular magnetic field and neutrino mixing parameters. Previous results obtained for small mixing and ad-hoc regular magnetic profiles are...
متن کاملNeutrino Propagation and Oscillations in a Strong Magnetic Field∗
We review the results on neutrino propagation in neutral and charged media under strong magnetic fields M W ≫ B ≫ m 2 e. It is shown that the neutrino energy density gets a magnetic contribution in both charged and neutral media, which is linear in the magnetic field, of first order in GF , and independent of the charge density. This new term enters as a correction to the neutrino kinetic energ...
