Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new open-source code to find numerical solutions for the neutrino evolution considering neutrino-neutrino interactions, which result in the so-called collective effects. We first describe the theoretical background of this type of evolution, explaining the polarization vector formalism in which we implement our numerical code. We then show the results for different neutrino systems. In this first paper, we focus on the case of an isotropic neutrino gas, exploring a mono-energetic scenario and one with a spectral distribution. The resulting code of this work is available at https://github.com/pedrodedin/Neutrino-Collective-Effects.
