An exact analytic description of neutrino oscillations in matter with exponentially varying density for arbitrary number of neutrino species
Exact analytical expressions in terms of generalized confluent hypergeometric functions for the transition amplitudes of neutrino oscillations in presence of matter are computed for an arbitrary number of species. The density of matter is assumed to be exponentially decaying. The results can be used for the description of matter-induced neutrino oscillations in the Sun which can take place when...
متن کاملEarth matter density uncertainty in atmospheric neutrino oscillations
Abstract That muon neutrinos νμ oscillating into the mixture of tau neutrinos ντ and sterile neutrinos νs has been studied to explain the atmospheric νμ disappearance. In this scenario, the effect of Earth matter is a key to determine the fraction of νs. Considering that the Earth matter density has uncertainty and this uncertainty has significant effects in some neutrino oscillation cases, suc...
متن کاملMatter Enhanced Neutrino Oscillations with a Realistic Earth Density Profile
Step function approximations of the Earth matter density profile have been used by several authors, see e.g. Refs. [1,2], for the analysis of matter effects in neutrino oscillation experiments. In order to investigate the quality of this approximation, we have developed methods to numerically calculate the transition probability amplitudes in a realistic matter density profile. Calculations wer...
متن کاملSolar mass-varying neutrino oscillations.
We propose that the solar neutrino deficit may be due to oscillations of mass-varying neutrinos (MaVaNs). This scenario elucidates solar neutrino data beautifully while remaining comfortably compatible with atmospheric neutrino and K2K data and with reactor antineutrino data at short and long baselines (from CHOOZ and KamLAND). We find that the survival probability of solar MaVaNs is independen...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations and Dark Matter
The significance of light massive neutrinos as hot dark matter is outlined. The power of neutrino oscillation experiments with respect to detect such neutrinos in the eV-region is discussed. Present hints for neutrino oscillations in solar, atmospheric and LSND data are reviewed as well as future experiments and their potential.
