Neutrino oscillations from the splitting of Fermi points
نویسنده
چکیده
As was shown previously, oscillations of massless neutrinos may be due to the splitting of multiply degenerate Fermi points. In this Letter, we give the details and propose a three-flavor model of Fermi point splittings and neutrino mixings with only two free parameters. The model may explain recent experimental results from the K2K and KamLAND collaborations. There is also rough agreement with the data on atmospheric neutrinos (SuperK) and solar neutrinos (SNO), but further analysis is required. Most importantly, the Ansatz allows for relatively strong T–violating (CP–nonconserving) effects in the neutrino sector.

Lorentz-noninvariant Neutrino Oscillations: Model and Predictions
We present a three-parameter neutrino-oscillation model for three flavors of massless neutrinos with Fermi-point splitting and tri-maximal mixing angles. One of these parameters is the T–violating phase ǫ, for which the experimental results from K2K and KamLAND appear to favor a nonzero value. In this article, we give further model predictions for neutrino oscillations. Upcoming experiments wil...
متن کاملQuantum phase transition for the BCS–BEC crossover in condensed matter physics and for CPT violation in elementary particle physics
We discuss the quantum phase transition which separates a vacuum state with fully-gapped fermion spectrum from a vacuum state with topologically-protected Fermi points (gap nodes). In the context of condensed-matter physics, such a quantum phase transition with Fermi point splitting may occur for a system of ultra-cold fermionic atoms in the region of the BCS–BEC crossover, provided the Cooper ...

متن کاملNeutrino Mass Difference Induced Oscillations in Observed Muon Decays
The recent real time KARMEN anomaly for the electron neutrino counting rates (obtained from stopped muon decays) is analyzed by employing a neutrino flavor rotation model in which the muon neutrino is in a superposition of only two mass eigenstates. On the basis of experimental electron neutrino counting oscillations, we find a neutrino mass splitting |m22 −m 2 1| = (0.22± 0.02)(eV/c ) and a fl...
متن کاملNearly Mass-Degenerate Majorana Neutrinos: Double Beta Decay and Neutrino Oscillations
Assuming equal tree-level Majorana masses for the standard-model neutrinos, either from the canonical seesaw mechanism or from a heavy scalar triplet, I discuss how their radiative splitting may be relevant to neutrinoless double beta decay and neutrino oscillations. • Talk given at the International Conference on Non-Accelerator New Physics, Dubna, Russia (June 28 July 3, 1999).
