If neutrinos have mass, we give reasons for a possible pattern of three (squared) mass eigenvalues: $m_1^2 \simeq (2.8 - 5.8) \, \mbox{(eV)}^2 $, $m_2^2 \simeq 0.01 \, \mbox{(eV)}^2 $, $m_3^2 \simeq (1.5 - 1) \times 10^{-4} \mbox{(eV)}^2 $.…
We give a phenomenological interpretation of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations by considering two scenarios for the neutrino mass spectrum: (a) m_1 \ll m_2 \ll m_3 and (b) m_1 \approx m_2 \approx m_3. A new parametrization of the…
We study the system of massive and mixed neutrinos interacting with background matter moving with an acceleration. We start with the derivation of the Dirac equation for a single neutrino in the noninertial frame where matter is at rest. A…
We argue that the neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter are best understood by allowing the mixing angles and mass-squared differences in the standard parametrization to `run' with the matter effect parameter $a=2\sqrt{2}G_F N_e E$,…

Usually, neutrino oscillation experiments are analyzed within the two-flavor framework which is governed by 1 mass-squared difference and 1 mixing angle. But there are 6 parameters,2 mass-squared differences, 3 mixing angles, and 1 CP phase…

We study in detail the Quantum Field Theory of mixing among three generations of Dirac fermions (neutrinos). We construct the Hilbert space for the flavor fields and determine the generators of the mixing transformations. By use of these…
The recent observations of atmospheric nu events from the Super-Kamiokande experiment are compatible with three-flavor neutrino oscillations, occurring dominantly in the nu_mu<--->nu_tau channel and subdominantly in the nu_mu<--->nu_e…
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…

Neutrino oscillation experiments provide a unique tool for probing neutrino-matter interactions, especially those involving the tau neutrino. We describe the sensitivity of the present atmospheric neutrino data to these interactions in the…
In dense matter like the Supernovae and at high energy, neutrinos have two points where the nonadiabatic transitions could occur. With the present values of the oscillation parameters in the standard three flavor scenario, two nonadiabatic…
