Quantum coherence in neutrino oscillation in matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A closer and more detailed study of neutrino oscillation, in addition to assisting us founding physics beyond the standard model, can potentially be used understand fundamental aspects quantum mechanics. In particular, we know that oscillation occurs because states produced detected neutrinos are a coherent superposition mass eigenstates, this coherency is maintained during propagation due small difference neutrinos. paper, consider decoherence interaction material medium with constant density coming from localization properties. For purpose, use $l_1\text{-norm}$ order quantify coherence investigate its dependence on matter density. According our results, general, less than vacuum. However, there exist exceptions; for some densities, lengths become infinite. So, these cases,

New Matter Effects in Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
Consequences of a new force mediated by a light scalar particle for neutrino oscillation experiments are considered. Such a force could give rise to neutrino masses and mixings whose matter dependence is much more significant than the MSW effect. We consider the effects of such a new force on the limits derived from oscillation experiments, and examine how the constraints on neutrino models are...
متن کاملTesting Quantum Mechanics in Neutrino Oscillation
A scenario of testing quantum mechanics in neutrino oscillation is presented. The quantum mechanics violation(QMV) that is motivated by arguments based on quantum gravity is investigated in neutrino system. It is found that the evolution equation of density matrix including QMV effect is analytically resolvable for neutrino propagate in vacuum or in matter under adiabatic approximation. The ana...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics of Neutrino Detectors Determine Coherence and Phases in Oscillation Experiments
The apparent symmetry between energy and momentum found in all covariant descriptions of neutrino oscillations is destroyed in the neutrino detector, a quantum mechanical system described by a density matrix diagonal in energy but not in momentum. The off diagonal matrix elements between states of different momenta and the same energy produce the coherence and interference between mass eigensta...
متن کاملSeries expansions for three-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter
We present a number of complete sets of series expansion formulas for neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter of constant density for three flavors. In particular, we study expansions in the mass hierarchy parameter α ≡ ∆m21/∆m 2 31 and mixing parameter s13 ≡ sin θ13 up to second order and expansions only in α and only in s13 up to first order. For each type of expansion we also present th...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Effects in Indirect Detection of Dark Matter
If neutrino oscillation plays a role in explaining the atmospheric neutrino deficit, then the same phenomenon would necessarily affect also the dark matter indirect-detection signal which consists in a muon-neutrino flux produced by neutralino annihilation in the Earth core. In this paper we investigate to which extent the upgoingmuon signal originated by neutralinos captured inside the Earth w...
