Neutrino Oscillations beyond Two Flavours
نویسنده
چکیده
I review some theoretical aspects of neutrino oscillations in the case when more than two neutrino flavours are involved. These include: approximate analytic solutions for 3-flavour (3f) oscillations in matter; matter effects in νµ ↔ ντ oscillations; 3f effects in oscillations of solar, atmospheric, reactor and supernova neutrinos and in accelerator long-baseline experiments; CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter; the problem of Ue3; 4f oscillations.

How neutrino oscillations can induce an effective neutrino number of less than 3 during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
How neutrino oscillations can induce an effective neutrino number of less than 3 during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Abstract Ordinary-sterile neutrino oscillations can generate significant neutrino asymmetry in the early Universe. In this paper we extend this work by computing the evolution of neutrino asymmetries and light element abundances during the Big Bang Nucleosyn-thesis (BBN) epoch. We s...

Compelling evidences for oscillactions of solar and atmospheric neutrinos have been acumulated over the last years[1]. The neutrino oscillations have been also confirmed with artificially produced neutrinos. The neutrino oscillations imply the existence of 3-neutrino mixing in vacuum. This vast experimental program has proven the oscillation between sets of two neutrino flavours. The existence ...

Attempts to modify the standard expression for the phase in neu-trino oscillations by an extra factor of two are based on misuse of quantum mechanics. Claims to present Bruno Pontecorvo and his coauthors as " godfathers " of this " extra 2 " factor are easily disproved by unbiased reading their articles. As is well known, the standard phase φ for neutrino oscillations is given by φ = ∆m 2 l/2E,...

متن کاملImplications on neutrino oscillation plus decay from recent solar neutrino data
Recently the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has measured both the rates as well as the day-night asymmetries in the flux of neutrinos from the Sun in the charged-current (CC), neutral-current (NC) and elastic scattering (ES) channels. Motivated by the small but negative daynight asymmetry in the NC channel at SNO (1.2 standard deviations away from zero), we consider whether such a non-zero ...
