In astrophysical environments, neutrinos may propagate over a long distance in a magnetic field. In the presence of a rotating magentic field, the neutrino spin can flip from left-handed neutrino to right-handed neutrino. Smirnov…
The geometric picture of neutrino oscillations offers a unique way to study the quantum mechanics of this phenomenon. In this picture, the propagation of a neutrino beam is described by a density matrix evolving in a state space with…
Neutrinos propagating in dense astrophysical environments sustain nonlinear refractive effects due to neutrino-neutrino forward scattering. We study geometric phases in neutrino oscillations that arise out of cyclic evolution of the…
We study the properties of neutrinos propagating in an isotropic magnetized medium in the two physical approximations of degenerate Fermi gas and classical plasma. The dispersion relation shows that, for peculiar configurations of the…
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied. A method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time is presented. The result is used to calculate gravitational effects on the neutrino…
We show that neutrino spin and spin-flavor transitions involve nonvanishing geometric phases. The geometric character of neutrino spin rotation is explored by studying the neutrino spin trajectory in the projective Hilbert space…
The propagation of neutrinos in a gravitational field is studied by developing a method of calculating a covariant quantum-mechanical phase in a curved space-time. The result is applied to neutrino propagation in the Schwarzschild metric.
We analyze the geometric phase for neutrinos and we demonstrate that the geometric invariants associated to transitions between different neutrino flavors, for Majorana neutrinos, can depend on the representation of the mixing matrix and…
We study the quantum mechanical phases associated with the propagation of neutrinos in gravitational fields under the WKB approximation for Dirac equation. Applying the result, the investigations are made for gravitational effects on the…
We compute the dispersion curves for neutrinos propagating in an extremely dense electroweak plasma, in the presence of very strong magnetic fields of order $B \le M_W^2/e$. The neutrino self-energy is calculated in the one-loop…
We analize the non-cyclic geometric phase for neutrinos. We find that the geometric phase and the total phase associated to the mixing phenomenon provide a tool to distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. Our results hold for…
A wave packet of a charged particle always make cyclic circular motion in a uniform magnetic field, just like a classical particle. The nonadiabatic geometric phase for an arbitrary wave packet can be expressed in terms of the mean value of…
We study the propagation of neutrinos in gravitational fields using wave functions that are exact to first order in the metric deviation. For illustrative purposes, the geometrical background is represented by the Lense-Thirring metric. We…
If massive neutrinos possess magnetic moments, they can undergo spin flip in a magnetic field. The magnetic fields needed for a meaningful measurement of neutrino moments could be very high and may occur in astronomical objects such as some…
We study the geometric phase (GP) in neutrino oscillation for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. We apply the kinematic generalization of the GP to quantum open systems that take into account the coupling to a dissipative environment. In…
We review the results on neutrino propagation in neutral and charged media under strong magnetic fields $M_{W}^{2}\gg B\gg m_{e}^{2}$. It is shown that the neutrino energy density gets a magnetic contribution in both charged and neutral…
The weak gravitational field expansion method to account for the gravitationally induced neutrino oscillation effect is critically examined. It is shown that the splitting of the neutrino phase into a ``kinematic'' and a ``gravitational''…
We discuss the nature of neutrino propagation in the presence of strong magnetic fields of Magnetars.
The active-sterile neutrino conversion probability is calculated for neutrino propagating in a medium in the presence of random magnetic field fluctuations. Necessary condition for the probability to be positive definite is obtained. Using…
In this talk we review the results on neutrino propagation under external magnetic fields. We concentrate on the effects of strong magnetic fields $M_{W}^{2}\gg B\gg m_{e}^{2}$ in neutral media. It is shown that the neutrino energy density…
