Some Remarks on the Neutrino Oscillation Phase in a Gravitational Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The weak gravitational field expansion method to account for the gravitationally induced neutrino oscillation effect is critically examined, then it is shown that the splitting of the neutrino phase into a “kinematic” and a “gravitational” phase is not always possible because the relativistic factor modifies the particle interference phase splitting condition in a gravitational field. key words: neutrino oscillation, interference phase, weak field

Gravitational Correction in Neutrino Oscillations
Recently, the neutrino oscillation phase due to the presence of gravity is much discussed [1], [2], [3]. If the neutrinos are massive particles and mixed, the neutrino oscillation between different flavor states occurs. Suppose that neutrinos are created as weak flavor eigenstate, say, at ~rA, and propagate to ~rB . The state is a linear superposition of mass eigenstates and each phase of mass ...
متن کاملGravitational effects on the neutrino oscillation
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied. A method of calculating a covariant quantum–mechanical phase in a curved space–time is presented. The result is used to calculate gravitational effects on the neutrino oscillation in the presence of a gravitational field. We restrict our discussion to the case of the Schwarzschild metric. Specifically, the cases of the radial pro...

In this paper, the effect of compressive viscosity on the slow mode oscillation of solar corona loops is studied. The coronal loops medium are considered in low beta condition, uniform magnetic field in the presence of gravitational stratification and temperature gradient. Two-dimensional Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (MHD) equations are perturbed about the equilibrium and thenthese equations are lin...
متن کاملNeutrino wave packet propagation in gravitational fields
We discuss the propagation of neutrino wave packets in a Lense-Thirring spacetime using a gravitational phase approach. We show that the neutrino oscillation length is altered by gravitational corrections and that neutrinos are subject to helicity flip induced by stellar rotation. For the case of a rapidly rotating neutron star, we show that absolute neutrino masses can be derived, in principle...
