Linear Wave Spectrum associated with Collective Neutrino - Plasma Interactions in the Early Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of collective neutrino-plasma interactions on the linear wave spectrum supported by a magnetized electron-positron plasma in the presence of a neutrino-antineutrino medium are investigated. When a pair-symmetric background neutrino-plasma medium is perturbed by space-charge waves (electrostatic waves associated with electron-positron charge separation), our analysis shows that the neutrino and antineutrino fluids also separate and the pair symmetry of the background medium is broken. The cosmological implications of this pair-symmetry breaking mechanism are briefly discussed.

Lagrangian formulation for neutrino–plasma interactions
A Lagrangian formalism is used to derive coupled nonlinear equations for collective interactions between an intense neutrino flux and a relativistic cold plasma fluid with multiple particle species. In order to focus on the self-consistent ~collective! treatment of neutrino–plasma interactions, quantum effects are ignored throughout and the ~spinless! neutrinos are represented by a complex-valu...

متن کاملLarge-scale magnetic field generation by alpha effect driven by collective neutrino-plasma interaction.
We suggest a new mechanism for the generation of a large-scale magnetic field in the hot plasma of the early Universe which is based on parity violation in weak interactions and depends neither on the helicity of matter turbulence resulting in the standard alpha effect nor on general rotation. The mechanism can result in a self-excitation of an (almost) uniform cosmological magnetic field.

متن کاملSplitting and focusing of neutrino collective states
It is shown that the collective nonlinear interactions between intense neutrino or anti-neutrino fluxes and a dense neutrino plasma are governed by a multidimensional coupled cubic Schrödinger equation in which the interaction potential is positive or negative depending on the neutrino type. The cubic Schrödinger equation describes the splitting and focusing of intense neutrino beams due to the...
