Neutrino Oscillations Induced by Chiral Phase Transition in a Compact Star

Astrophysics 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

Electric charge neutrality in a compact star provides an important relation- ship between the chiral dynamics and neutrino propagation in the star. Since the sudden drop of the electron density at the critical point of the first-order chiral phase transition, the oscillation for low energy neutrinos is significant and can be regarded as a signature of chiral symmetry restoration in the core of the star.
