In this talk I discuss the use of a relic neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry in suppressing active-sterile neutrino oscillations in the early universe. This phenomenon can serve to greatly loosen the well known Big Bang Nucleosynthesis constraints on active-sterile neutrino mixing, and is thus important in some proposed solutions to the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies which employ large-a...

Recent studies of neutrino oscillations have established the existence of finite neutrino masses and mixing between generations of neutrinos [1]. The combined results from studies of atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, reactor antineutrinos and neutrinos produced at accelerators paint an intriguing picture that clearly requires modification of the standard model of particle physics. These r...

The existence of a neutrino magnetic moment implies contributions to the neutrino mass via radiative corrections. We derive model-independent "naturalness" upper bounds on the magnetic moments of Dirac neutrinos, generated by physics above the electroweak scale. The neutrino mass receives a contribution from higher order operators, which are renormalized by operators responsible for the neutrin...

At existing and planned neutrino factories (high energy and high intensity neutrino beam facilities) precision studies of QCD in neutrino-nucleon interactions are a realistic opportunity. We investigate charmonium production in fixed target neutrino experiments. We find that J/ψ production in neutrinonucleon collision is dominated by the color octet S1 NRQCD matrix element in a neutral current ...

It is shown that neutrino oscillation and Majorana type neutrino are not compatible with Special Theory of Relativity. Instead of the Majorana type neutrino, traditional neutrino (mν = 0) is considered with additional assumptions that νR and ν̄L neutrinos exist in nature and naturally thus parity is conserved. Besides, neutrino itself is considered as longitudinal vacuum-string oscillations. To ...

In this paper we extend an earlier calculation of the flux of atmospheric neutrinos to higher energy. The earlier calculation of the neutrino flux below 3 GeV has been used for calculation of the rate of contained neutrino interactions in deep underground detectors. The fluxes are needed up to neutrino energies of 10 TeV to calculate the expected rate of neutrino-induced muons passing into and ...

We review some fundamental aspects of the theory of neutrino masses and mixing. The results of neutrino oscillation experiments are interpreted as evidence of three-neutrino mixing. Implications for the mixing parameters and the neutrino masses are discussed, with emphasis on the connection with the measurements of the absolute values of neutrino masses in beta decay and neutrinoless double-bet...

Solar and atmospheric neutrino data require physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The simplest, most generic, but not yet unique, interpretation of the data is in terms of neutrino oscillations. I summarize the results of the latest three-neutrino oscillation global fit of the data, in particular the bounds on the angle θ13 probed in reactor experiments. Even though not implied...

It is shown that a flavor neutrino state that describes a neutrino produced or detected in a charged-current weak interaction process depends on the process under consideration and is appropriate for the description of neutrino oscillations as well as for the calculation of neutrino production or detection rates. Hence, we have a consistent framework for the description of neutrino oscillations...

Both gravitational and mass induced neutrino oscillation mechanisms provide possible resolutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem. The distinguishing feature between the two mechanisms is their dependence on the neutrino energy. We investigate the implications of this by computing the B neutrino spectrum as determined from each mechanism using a realistic three–flavor evolution model. We find that...
