Particle mixing as possible explanation of the dark energy conundrum

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-07-24 v1

Abstract

The vacuum condensate due to neutrino and quark mixing behaves as a perfect fluid and, at the present epoch, as a cosmological constant. The very small breaking of the Lorentz invariance constrains today the value of the dark energy.
