Positivity constraints for lepton polarization in neutrino deep inelastic scattering
We consider the spin polarization of leptons produced in neutrino and antineutrino nucleon deep inelastic scattering, via charged currents, and we study the positivity constraints on the spin components in a model independent way. These results are very important, in particular in the case of τ leptons, because the polarization information is crucial in all future neutrino oscillation experimen...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations and Neutrino - Electron Scattering
One expects that, in general, neutral-current processes will be completely unaffected by the oscillation of neutrinos among their various possible flavors (v , v , v ses presumably preserve neufring f&ii, >. After all, these procesand are independent of that flavor. Thus, oscillation of neutrinos from one flavor to another will not change any neutral-current cross sections. Indeed, even if the ...
متن کاملLepton asymmetries from neutrino oscillations
Reasonably large relic neutrino asymmetries can be generated by active-sterile neutrino oscillations. After briefly discussing possible applications, I describe the Quantum Kinetic Equation formalism used to compute the asymmetry growth curves. I then show how the basic features of these curves can be understood on the basis of the adiabatic limit approximation in the collision dominated epoch,...
متن کاملElectron neutrino opacity in magnetised media
We study the effects of strong magnetic fields (B > ∼ 10 13 G) in the cross section for νen → pe scattering in the presence of a degenerate electron background. This can be relevant for the νe propagation in the proto–neutron star stage after supernovae collapse. We find that for field strengths B > ∼ 10 16 G(Eν/10 MeV) 2 the νe opacity is sizeably affected by the magnetic field and can lead to...
متن کاملSolar opacity, neutrino signals and helioseismology
In connection with the recent suggestion by Tsytovich et al. [1] that opacity in the solar core could be overestimated, we consider the following questions: i) What would a 10% opacity reduction imply for the solar neutrino puzzle? ii) Is there any hope of solving the solar neutrino puzzle by changing opacity? iii) Is a 10% opacity reduction testable with helioseismological data? Recently Tsyto...
