We present the systematic-error study of the neutrino flux in the NO{\nu}A experiment. Systematic errors on the flux at the near detector (ND), far detector (FD), and the ratio FD/ND, due to the beam-transport and hadro-production are…
Extremely high energy neutrinos propagating in the atmosphere or in the Earth can originate horizontal or upgoing air-showers, respectively. We calculate the acceptances (event rate/flux) for detecting both types of events by fluorescence…
We address the possible impact of New Physics on neutrino oscillation experiments. This can modify the neutrino production, propagation and/or detection, making the full cross section non-factorizable in general. Thus, for example, the…
(Abridged) The transition probabilities describing the evolution of a neutrino with a given energy along some ray through a turbulent supernova are random variates unique to each ray. If the source of the neutrinos were a point then all…
A remarkable feature of the Landau-Zener transition is insensitivity of the survival probability to the decay rate, of the excited state. Namely, the probability for a particle, which is initially in the ground state, to remain in the same…
