Neutrino Propagation Through Matter
We discuss a simple approach to solve the transport equation for high-energy neutrinos in media of any thickness. We present illustrative results obtained with some specific models for the initial spectra of νμ and νμ propagating through a normal cold medium.
متن کاملA relativistic variant of the Wigner function
The Wigner function is a quasiprobability density over phase space (for reviews, see Lee[1], Cohen[2], or Hillery et al.[3]; a quasiprobability is generally not positive semi-definite), so in a quantum field theory setting it is not manifestly Lorentz covariant. Quasiprobabilities are conceptually interesting partly because Arthurs-Kelly type interpretations of positive definite Husimi function...
متن کاملNeutrino Propagation in Dense Hadronic Matter *
Neutrino propagation in protoneutron stars requires the knowledge of the composition as well as the dynamical response function of dense hadronic matter. Matter at very high densities is probably composed of other particles than nucleons and little is known on the Fermi liquid properties of hadronic multicomponent systems. We will discuss the effects that the presence of Λ hyperons might have o...
متن کاملNeutrino propagation in matter with general interactions
We present a general analysis of the effective potential for neutrino propagation in matter, assuming a generic set of Lorentz invariant non-derivative interactions. We find that in addition to the known vector and axial vector terms, in a polarized medium also tensor interactions can play an important role. We compute the effective potential arising from a tensor interaction. We show that the ...
متن کاملLight neutrino propagation in matter without heavy neutrino decoupling
We review the propagation of light neutrinos in matter assuming that their mixing with heavy neutrinos is close to present experimental limits. The phenomenological implications of the non-unitarity of the light neutrino mixing matrix for neutrino oscillations are discussed. In particular we show that the resonance effect in neutrino propagation in matter persists, but for slightly modified val...
