Nonlinear neutrino oscillations in the expanding Universe.

چکیده
interactions with electrons and positrons. A broad spectrum of neutrino and antineutrino behavior is observed, ranging from vacuumlike to smooth. Oscillations exhibiting self-maintained coherence also appear. We identify a variety of neutrino properties arising as a consequence of the nonlinear neutrino self-interactions. The nonlinear effects tend to suppress any CP asymmetry relative to the linear case. An analytical approximation scheme reproducing bulk neutrino behavior is described. We discuss some physical implications of our results.

Bimodal coherence in dense self-interacting neutrino gases.
Analytical solutions are obtained to the nonlinear equations describing neutrino oscillations when explicit neutrino-antineutrino asymmetries are present. Such a system occurs in the early Universe if neutrinos have a non-zero chemical potential. Solutions to the equations lead to a new type of coherent behavior governed by two modes. These bimodal solutions provide new insights into dense neut...

We study matter effects on oscillations of high-energy neutrinos in the Universe. Substantial effect can be produced by scattering of the neutrinos from cosmological sources (z > ∼ 1) on the relic neutrino background, provided that the latter has large CP-asymmetry: η ≡ (n ν − n ¯ ν)/n γ > ∼ 1, where n ν , n ¯ ν and n γ are the concentrations of neutrinos, antineutrinos and photons. We consider...

Do neutrino flavor oscillations forbid large lepton asymmetry of the universe? Abstract It is shown that hypothetical neutrino-majoron coupling can suppress neutrino flavor oscillations in the early universe, in contrast to the usual weak interaction case. This reopens window for a noticeable cosmological lepton asymmetry which is forbidden for large mixing angle solution in the case of standar...
