Neutrino capture on tritium as a probe of flavor vacuum condensate and dark matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the study of neutrino capture on tritium, for non-relativistic neutrinos, can allow to distinguish among various models, eventually prove quantum field theory condensation effects and permit test hypothesis according which flavor vacuum energy gives a contribution dark matter universe. Indeed, we rate depends model considered, it brings an imprint condensate. Experiments like PTOLEMY, designed reveal cosmic background, then give indication existence component induced by mixing.

Neutrino oscillations as a probe of dark energy.
We consider a class of theories in which neutrino masses depend significantly on environment, as a result of interactions with the dark sector. Such theories of mass varying neutrinos were recently introduced to explain the origin of the cosmological dark energy density and why its magnitude is apparently coincidental with that of neutrino mass splittings. In this Letter we argue that in such t...

متن کاملDirac Neutrino Dark Matter
We investigate the possibility that dark matter is made of heavy Dirac neutrinos with mass m ∈ [O(1) GeV– a few TeV] and with suppressed but non-zero coupling to the Standard Model Z as well as a coupling to an additional Z ′ gauge boson. The first part of this paper provides a model-independent analysis for the relic density and direct detection in terms of four main parameters: the mass, the ...
متن کاملNeutrino Dark Matter
There is a puzzling contradiction: direct observations favor a low-mass density universe, but the only model which fits universe structure over more than three orders of magnitude in distance scale has a mix of hot (neutrino) and cold dark matter constituting a critical density universe. If all present indications for neutrino mass are valid, that hot dark matter is shared by two neutrino speci...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass and Dark Matter
Despite direct observations favoring a low mass density, a critical density universe with a neutrino component of dark matter provides the best existing model to explain the observed structure of the universe over more than three orders of magnitude in distance scale. In principle this hot dark matter could consist of one, two, or three species of active neutrinos. If all present indications fo...
