Inertial effects on neutrino oscillations

Abstract

The inertial effects on neutrino oscillations induced by the acceleration and angular velocity of a reference frame are calculated. Such effects have been analyzed in the framework of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problem.

Constraining alternative gravity theories using the solar neutrino problem

“…Also there exists some alternative mechanisms to take into account the effect of gravitational field on Neutrino flavor oscillation ( [26], [27]). Neutrino oscillation in non-inertial frame has also drawn some attention recently ( [28], [29]). There have been extensive study of Neutrino oscillation in spacetime with both curvature and torsion ( [30], [31]).…”

Neutrino Oscillations in Brans–dicke Theory of Gravity

“…For this reason, the quantum mechanical phase of neutrinos propagating in gravitational field (usually the Schwarzschild or Kerr field) has been recently discussed by several authors (see [6]- [14] and references therein), also in view of astrophysical consequences.…”

Using Hamilton-Jacobi Equation to Study the Neutrino Oscillations in the Stationary Space-Time

“…Because of the complexity of the Kerr-Newman-Kasuya metric, it is very difficult for direct calculation by substituting the detailed components of the Kerr-Newman-Kasuya metric (19) into (21). However, by clever technique of the following relationship between the contravariant components and the covariant components of metric, g 00 = − g 33 sin 2 θ , g 33 = − g 00 sin 2 θ , g 03 = g 03 sin 2 θ , g 2 03 − g 00 g 33 = sin 2 θ,…”

“…As a natural extension of the theoretical consideration, the description of neutrino oscillations in the flat space-time has been extended to the cases in the curved space-time [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Furthermore, some alternative mechanisms have been proposed to account for the gravitational effect on the neutrino oscillation [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
