We explain the physics of neutrino oscillation in vacuum and in matter. We attempt to clarify several features of oscillation that can be puzzling when neutrinos are their own antiparticles.
We study the oscillations and conversions of relativistic neutrinos propagating in matter of variable density using the wave packet formalism. We show how the oscillation and coherence lengths are modified in comparison with the case of…
A brief review of a neutrino oscillations effect in an external magnetic field and matter currents is given. An ultra-relativistic neutrino propagation in moving external media is investigated. We have found a new spin operator which…
The major steps in the development of our knowledge about neutrinos are reviewed. The basics of neutrino oscillation formalism is presented. Neutrino oscillations in the framework of three-neutrino mixing are considered. The evidence for…
Demonstration of how matter effects can result into non-oscillating neutrinos in vacuum, after they have passed through an appropriate distribution of matter. A brief discussion about matter effects in neutrinos oscillation is also made.
We discuss a simple approach to solve the transport equation for high-energy neutrinos in media of any thickness. We present illustrative results obtained with some specific models for the initial spectra of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos…
We derive the new quasi-classical equation for the description of the spin evolution of a neutrino propagating in a curved space-time and interacting with a background matter and an external electromagnetic field. This equation is used to…
We briefly review the matter effects in case of Dirac and Majorana neutrino propagation in medium. We develop the quantum treatment of neutrinos in matter: using the generalized Dirac equations for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos wave…
Following similar approaches in the past, the Schrodinger equation for three neutrino propagation in matter of constant density is solved analytically by two successive diagonalizations of 2x2 matrices. The final result for the oscillation…
We consider main ingredients which determine neutrino transformations in media. Strong transformations relevant for the astrophysics can be due to large depth oscillations, resonance conversion, parametric resonance effect, interplay of…
We write the probabilities for neutrino oscillations in uniform-density matter exactly in terms of convention-independent vacuum neutrino oscillation parameters and the matter density. This extends earlier results formulating neutrino…
Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement -- parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric…
Exact analytical expressions in terms of generalized confluent hypergeometric functions for the transition amplitudes of neutrino oscillations in presence of matter are computed for an arbitrary number of species. The density of matter is…
Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement -- parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Recently it has been shown that the oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the…
This review covers a subset of the astrophysical phenomena where neutrinos play a significant role and where the underlying microphysics is nuclear physics. The current status of the solar neutrino problem, atmospheric neutrino experiments,…
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…
The question of neutrino mass is one of the major riddles in particle physics. Recently, strong evidence that neutrinos have nonzero masses has been found. While tiny, these masses could be large enough to contribute significantly to the…
When neutrinos propagate in a background, their gravitational couplings are modified by their weak interactions with the particles in the background. In a medium that contains electrons but no muons or taons, the matter-induced…
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…
During a period of about two decades we have realized a programme of systematic investigations of different aspects of neutrino propagation in extreme external environments and have predicted and studied several new phenomena that are…
