The flux of neutrinos originating from cosmic ray interactions with matter in the Sun has been calculated based on Monte Carlo models for high energy particle interactions. The resulting flux at the Earth (within the Sun's solid angle) is…
Several authors have pointed out that the scalar-mediated interaction of neutrinos in a neutriophilic two-Higgs-doublet model (nu2HDM) can be as strong as electromagnetic interaction [1-3]. We show that the coupling constants of…

Neutrino oscillations are a widely observed and well established phenomenon. It is also well known that deviations with respect to flavor conversion probabilities in vacuum arise due to neutrino interactions with matter. In this work, we…

General Neutrino Interactions (GNI) are scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial vector or tensor interactions of neutrinos with fermions, and generalise the often studied neutrino Non-Standard Interactions (NSI). If GNI arise from heavy new…

The linear response of a nonrelativistic superfluid baryon system on an external weak field is investigated while taking into account of the Fermi-liquid interactions. We generalize the theory developed by Leggett for a superfluid…
Neutrinos remain mysterious. As an example, enhanced self-interactions ($\nu$SI), which would have broad implications, are allowed. At the high neutrino densities within core-collapse supernovae, $\nu$SI should be important, but robust…
Despite the astonishing success of standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, there is mounting evidence for a tension with observations at small and intermediate scales. We introduce a simple model where both cold dark matter (DM) and sterile…
