Floquet theory of neutrino oscillations in the earth ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the Floquet theory of linear differential equations with periodic coefficients and discuss its applications to neutrino oscillations in matter of periodically varying density. In particular, we consider parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations which can occur in such media, and discuss implications for oscillations of neutrinos traversing the earth and passing through the earth's core.

This work is a study of the Earths free oscillations considering a merge of solid and liquid model. At the turn of 19th century Geophysicists presented the theory of the free oscillations for a self-gravitating, isotropic and compressible sphere. Assuming a steel structure for an Earth size sphere, they predicted a period of oscillation of about 1 hour. About 50 years later, the free oscillat...

متن کاملParametric resonance in neutrino oscillations in matter ∗
Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement – parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric enhancement when neutrino trajectories cross the core of the earth. In this paper we review the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations in matter. In particula...
متن کاملFourier analysis of real - time , high -
Solar neutrino oscillations with wavelengths comparable to the Earth-Sun distance provide a viable explanations of the long-standing solar neutrino deecit. They imply a time-dependent modulation of the solar neutrino ux due to the eccentricity of the Earth orbit. Motivated by this testable prediction, we propose a Fourier analysis of the signal observable in real-time, solar neutrino experiment...
