Neutrino oscillations give clear evidence for non-vanishing neutrino masses and lepton-flavor violation (LFV) in the neutrino sector. This provides strong motivation to search for signals of LFV also in the charged lepton sector, and to…
Differences in lepton number (i.e., $ L _e - L _\mu $, $ L _e - L _\tau $, $ L_\mu - L _\tau $, or combinations thereof) are not conserved charges in the Standard Model due to the observation of neutrino oscillations. We compute the…

It has been proposed that the coherent propagation of long-lived heavy neutrino mass eigenstates can lead to an oscillating rate of lepton number conserving (LNC) and violating (LNV) events, as a function of the distance between the…
We study the fully nonlinear fast flavor evolution of neutrinos in 1+1 dimensions. Our numerical analysis shows that at late time the system reaches an approximately steady state. Using the steady state approximation we analytically show…
The scattering of neutrinos off dark matter can induce time delays in their propagation compared to that of photons, which would wash out correlations between ultra-high-energy neutrinos and electromagnetic observations of their sources -…
