Particle mixing, flavor condensate and dark energy

High Energy Physics - Theory 2014-11-20 v1

Abstract

The mixing of neutrinos and quarks generate a vacuum condensate that, at the present epoch, behaves as a cosmological constant. The value of the dark energy is constrained today by the very small breaking of the Lorentz invariance.
