We study the prospects of detecting signals of a resonant scattering of high-energy cosmic neutrinos on electrons in the atmosphere. Such a process is possible through an s-channel exchange of a isotriplet scalar particle predicted by some…

We consider the decoherence effects in the propagation of neutrinos in a background composed of a scalar particle and a fermion due to the non-forward neutrino scattering processes. Using a simple model for the coupling of the form $\bar…

One phenomenological explanation of superluminal propagation of neutrinos, which may have been observed by OPERA and MINOS, is that neutrinos travel faster inside of matter than in vacuum. If so neutrinos exhibit refraction inside matter…

It is usually assumed that relic neutrinos possess a Fermi-Dirac distribution, acquired during thermal equilibrium in the Early Universe. However, various mechanisms could introduce strong distortions in this distribution. We perform a…
