Leptonic Unitarity Triangles in Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v2 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We present a geometric description of lepton flavor mixing and CP violation in matter by using the language of leptonic unitarity triangles. The exact analytical relations for both sides and inner angles are established between every unitarity triangle in vacuum and its effective counterpart in matter. The typical shape evolution of six triangles with the terrestrial matter density is illustrated for a realistic long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment.
