Neutrino oscillations in the early Universe prior to the epoch of primordial nucleosynthesis is studied by implementing real time non-equilibrium field theory methods. We focus on two flavors of Dirac neutrinos, however, the formulation is…
The mass-energy formula E=mc^2 is thought to be derived by Einstein from special relativity. The present study shows that since the formula has also been derived from classical physics by Einstein, it is not an exclusively relativistic…
The discovery of neutrino mass establishes the need for physics beyond the Standard Model. I summarize the status of two- and three-neutrino oscillation parameters from current solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator data. Future…
By using Laplace transformation we developed an approximate solution to describe neutrino oscillation probabilities in arbitrary density matter. We show that this approximation solution is valid when matter potential V satisfy $V< \Delta…
Subtle problems in the theory of neutrino oscillations in vacuum are discussed. It is shown that Lorentz invariance implies that in general flavor neutrinos in oscillation experiments are superpositions of massive neutrinos with different…
Neutrino oscillations occur only if it is impossible to determine $\nu$ mass by using conservation laws on measurements of nucleon-lepton system absorbing $\nu$. No oscillations if $\nu$ detector is mass spectrometer. Beam is split into…
A wrong derivation of the phase of a propagating massive particle which has repeatedly appeared during the last years has the advantage of leading once more to the important question of the phase difference between the mass eigenstates…
We investigate the structure of equations of motion and lagrangian constraints in a general theory of massive spin 2 field interacting with external gravity. We demonstrate how consistency with the flat limit can be achieved in a number of…
The three active light neutrinos are used to explain the neutrino oscillations. The inherently bi-large mixing neutrino mass matrix and the Fritzsch type, bi-small mixing charged lepton mass matrix are assumed. By requiring the maximal…
Most of the neutrino oscillation results can be explained by the three-neutrino paradigm. However several anomalies in short baseline oscillation data could be interpreted by invoking a hypothetical fourth neutrino, separated from the three…
We treat quantum creation of gravitons by small scale factor oscillations around the average of an expanding universe. Such oscillations can arise in standard general relativity due to oscillations of a homogeneous, minimally coupled scalar…
It is shown that it is possible to account for all three experimental indications for neutrino oscillations with just three neutrino flavors. In particular, we suggest that the solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are to be explained by…
The time translation operator for neutrino mass states is often taken to be $e^{-iEt/\hbar}$. This is not relativistically invariant. In kaon mixing, physicists use $e^{-imc^2\tau/\hbar}$ where $\tau$ is the proper time of the kaon state.…
Neutrino flavour oscillations in a nonuniformly moving matter are considered. The neutrino oscillation resonance condition in presence of matter, in the most general case when matter is moving with acceleration, is derived for the first…
We study neutrino oscillations in a medium of dark matter which generalizes the standard matter effect. A general formula is derived to describe the effect of various mediums and their mediators to neutrinos. Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos…
We show that all correct results obtained by applying quantum field theory to neutrino oscillations can be understood in terms of a single oscillation formula. In particular, the model proposed by Grimus and Stockinger is shown to be a…
It is well known that when the distance $t$ traveled by neutrinos in matter is short, matter effects in oscillations of neutrino flavour are small and decrease with decreasing $t$ more rapidly than the oscillations effects themselves. We…
We motivate the simplest ansatz for the neutrino mass matrix consistent with the data from neutrino oscillation experiments, and admitting CP violation. It has only two free parameters: an arbitrary mass-scale and a small dimensionless…
We posit a second massless photon, uncoupled to known forms of matter but undergoing Lorentz non-invariant velocity mixing with ordinary photons. Our speculation within a speculation suffers from the sin of implausibility but enjoys the…
We propose a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) approach to neutrino oscillations in vacuum. The neutrino emission and detection are identified with the charged-current vertices of a single second-order Feynman diagram for the underlying process,…
