متن کاملStringent constraint on the scalar-neutrino coupling constant from quintessential cosmology
An extremely light (mφ ≪ 10 eV), slowly-varying scalar field φ (quintessence) with a potential energy density as large as 60% of the critical density has been proposed as the origin of the accelerated expansion of the Universe at present. The interaction of this smoothly distributed component with another predominately smooth component, the cosmic neutrino background, is studied. The slow-roll ...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass in TeV-Scale New Physics Models
In the standard model of particle physics (SM), neutrinos are regarded as massless particles. However, existence of nonzero masses of neutrinos has been established by a sequence of success of neutrino oscillation measurements [1–6]. If neutrino masses are generated similarly to the other fermion masses via a Yukawa interaction (introducing right-handed neutrinos νR) with the SU(2)L-doublet sca...
متن کاملEffects of Environment Dependence of Neutrino Mass versus Solar and Reactor Neutrino Data
Abstract In this work we study the phenomenological consequences of the environment dependence of neutrino mass on solar and reactor neutrino phenomenology. We concentrate on mass varying neutrino scenarios in which the enviroment dependence is induced by Yukawa interactions of a light neutral scalar particle which couples to neutrinos and matter. Under the assumption of one mass scale dominanc...
متن کاملNeutrino Clouds
We consider the possibility that neutrinos are coupled very weakly to an extremely light scalar boson. We first analyze the simple problem of one generation of neutrino and show that, for ranges of parameters that are allowed by existing data, such a system can have serious consequences for the evolution of stars and could impact precision laboratory measurements. We discuss the extension to mo...
