Neutron time-of-flight transmission spectra of mosaic crystals contain Bragg dips, i.e., minima at wavelengths corresponding to diffraction reflections. Positions of the dips are used for investigating crystal lattices. By rotating the…
Phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in cosmological plasma is considered. Neutrino oscillations in vacuum are usually described in plane wave approximation. In this formalism there is an ambiguity if one should assume…
An analysis is made of the role played by the gas environment in neutron-mirror-neutron and neutron-antineutron oscillations. In the first process the interaction with the ambient medium induces a refraction energy shift which plays the…
We perform 1D calculations of neutrino opacities inside a young "strange star" assumed to be the result of the conversion process of a normal neutron object. We evaluate the deleptonization and cooling timescales, which happen to be longer…

We study bulk viscosity arising from weak current Urca processes in dense baryonic matter at and beyond nuclear saturation density. We consider the temperature regime where neutrinos are trapped and therefore have nonzero chemical…
