چکیده
The violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) causing neutrino oscillations is of current interest. We study here the possibility of not only flavor oscillation but spin flavor oscillation of ultra high energy (∼ 1 PeV) neutrinos emanating from AGN due to VEP and due to the presence of a large magnetic field (∼ 1 Tesla) in AGN. In particular we look at the resonance spin flavor conversion driven by the AGN potential. Interesting bounds on the transition magnetic moment of neutrinos may therefore be obtained.

متن کاملusing MACRO data.
Neutrino-induced upward-going muons in MACRO have been analysed in terms of relativity principles violating effects, keeping standard mass-induced atmospheric neutrino oscillations as the dominant source of νμ → ντ transitions. The data disfavor these exotic possibilities even at a sub-dominant level, and stringent 90% C.L. limits are placed on the Lorentz invariance violation parameter |∆v| < ...
متن کاملSearch for a Lorentz invariance violation in atmospheric neutrino oscillations using MACRO data
The energy spectrum of neutrino-induced upward-going muons in MACRO was analysed in terms of special relativity principles violating effects, keeping standard mass-induced atmospheric neutrino oscillations as the dominant source of νμ ←→ ντ transitions. The data disfavour these exotic possibilities even at a sub-dominant level, and stringent 90% C.L. limits are placed on the Lorentz invariance ...

متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations from Strings and Other Funny Things
I will discuss three related unconventional ways to generate neutrino oscillations:(1)Equivalence principle violation by the string dilaton field (2) Violation of Lorentz Invariance and (3)Equivalence principle violation through a non-universal tensor neutrino-gravity coupling. These unorthodox oscillation mechanisms are shown to be viable at the level of our present experimental knowledge and ...
