Neutrino oscillations under gravity: mass independent oscillation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

I discuss the possibility of neutrino oscillation in presence of gravity. In this respect I consider the propagation of neutrinos in the early phase of universe and around black holes. It is seen that whether the rest masses of a neutrino and corresponding anti-neutrino are considered to be same or not due to space-time curvature effect non-zero oscillation probability between the neutrino and anti-neutrino states comes out. Therefore I can conclude that under gravity neutrino oscillation takes place which is independent of their rest mass.
