Neutrino spin-flip in active galactic nuclei

چکیده
We study the effects of neutrino spin-flip, i.e., νe− ν̄τ etc. in the magnetic fields, BAGN of active galactic nuclei (AGN) for neutrinos originating from AGN induced by an interplay of the violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) parameterized by ∆f and/or the twist in BAGN . We consider two situations: i) Spin (flavour)-precession in a reasonable strength of BAGN ii) Adiabatically resonant conversions caused by an interplay of a conceivable twist in BAGN and the VEP. We point out that in the latter situation, the conversion effect may exist for ∆f ∼ 10 (

Tau neutrinos from active galactic nuclei
We study the appearance of ντ from active galactic nuclei (AGN) through neutrino spin-flip. We consider two situations: i) Spin (flavour)-precession in a reasonable strength of magnetic field in AGN, BAGN ii) Adiabatically resonant conversions caused by an interplay of BAGN and the violation of equivalence principle. Observational consequences for both situations are discussed.
متن کاملNeutrino Flavor Conversion in Random Magnetic Fields
If massive neutrinos possess magnetic moments, a magnetic field can cause a spin flip. In the case of Dirac neutrinos the spin flip converts an active neutrino into a sterile one and vice versa. By contrast, if neutrinos are Majorana particles, a spin flip converts them to a neutrino of a different flavor. We examine the behavior of neutrinos in a random magnetic field as it occurs, for instanc...
متن کاملBehavior of Neutrinos in Stochastic Magnetic Fields
If massive neutrinos possess magnetic moments, they can undergo spin flip in a magnetic field. The magnetic fields needed for a meaningful measurement of neutrino moments could be very high and may occur in astronomical objects such as some supernovae or active galactic nuclei: they are typically chaotic ones. We develop the general theory of the passage of neutrinos through such fields. We als...
متن کاملNeutrino Conversions in Active Galactic Nuclei
I discuss the possibility of production of high energy cosmic neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) in cores of active galactic nuclei and study some of the effects of neutrino mixing on their subsequent propagation. I also discuss the prospects for observations of these high energy cosmic neutrinos in new km surface area underwater/ice neutrino telescopes.
متن کاملNeutrino magnetic moment signatures in the supernova neutrino signal
It is known that if neutrino is a Dirac fermion with magnetic moment, then νL → νR → νL transition of supernova neutrinos may occur. The first stage of such transition is due to the neutrino spin flip inside the hot dense supernova core, while the second one – due to the neutrino spin precession in the galactic magnetic field on the way from the supernova to terrestrial detectors. This can resu...
