Abstract

The neutrino oscillations in the field of a rotating deformed mass is investigated. The phase shift is evaluated in the case of weak field limit, slow rotation and small deformation. To this aim the Hartle-Thorne metric is used, which is an approximate solution of the vacuum Einstein equations accurate to second order in the rotation parameter a/Ma/M and to first order in the mass quadrupole moment qq. Implications on atmospheric, solar and astrophysical neutrinos are discussed.
