A core-collapse supernova (SN) releases almost all of its energy in the form of neutrinos, which provide a unique opportunity to probe the working machinery of a SN. These sites are prone to neutrino-neutrino refractive effects, which can…

Two-step dissipation is studied in supersymmetric models in which the field in motion couples to bulk fields in the higher dimensional space. Since the Kaluza-Klein tower of the intermediate field changes its mass-spectrum during 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…
If neutrinos are massive, `lepton flavour eigenstates' are absent from the amplitudes of all Standard Model processes. Measurements of $\Gamma(\pi \to e \nu)/\Gamma(\pi \to \mu \nu)$ and of the MNS matrix are shown to exclude the existence…

Neutrinos from a supernova (SN) might undergo fast flavor conversions near the collapsed stellar core. We perform a detailed study of this intriguing possibility, analyzing time-dependent state-of-the-art 3D SN models of 9 and 20 Msun. Both…

We present a model for neutrino oscillations in the presence of a deconstructed non-gravitational large extra dimension compactified on the boundary of a two-dimensional disk. In the deconstructed phase, sub-mm lattice spacings are…
Flavor-dependent neutrino emission is critical to the evolution of a supernova and its neutrino signal. In the dense anisotropic interior of the star, neutrino-neutrino forward-scattering can lead to fast collective neutrino oscillations,…
Rapid progress has been made during recent years in the understanding of the flavour oscillations that occur as neutrinos traverse through supernova. The previous paradigm has given way and it is now clear that the neutrino signals we shall…
In this paper we present a higher-dimensional seesaw mechanism. We consider a single, flat extra dimension, where a fat brane is localized and contains the standard model (SM) fields, similar to Universal Extra Dimension models. There is…
This paper is devoted to study the modified holographic dark energy model by taking its different aspects in the flat Kaluza-Klein universe. We construct the equation of state parameter which evolutes the universe from quintessence region…
In the early universe, neutrinos are slightly coupled when electron-positron pairs annihilate transferring their entropy to photons. This process originates non-thermal distortions on the neutrino spectra which depend on neutrino flavour,…
Extra dimension provides an attractive way to break symmetry by boundary conditions which can be useful to construct a natural grand unified theory avoiding the doublet-triplet splitting problem and the proton decay problem. It can provide…
