The phenomena of neutrino spin flavour precession in the presence of an extraneous magnetic field is a repercussion of neutrino magnetic moment which is consociated with the physics beyond the standard model of electroweak interactions.…
We review various field theory approaches to the description of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and external fields. First we discuss a relativistic quantum mechanics based approach which involves the temporal evolution of massive…
We study spin-flavor oscillations of Dirac neutrinos with mixing and having non-zero matrix of magnetic moments in magnetic fields of various configurations. We discuss constant transversal and twisting magnetic fields. To describe the…
We highlight the progress in our understanding of how neutrinos change their flavor in astrophysical environments, in particular effects from the neutrino self-interaction. We emphasize extended descriptions of neutrino propagation in…
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…
An electron motion in a dense neutrino flux is investigated. The Dirac equation exact solutions for the electron energy and wave function in this external environment are obtained. On this basis we predict the existence of an…
Core collapse supernovae are unique laboratories to study many aspects of neutrino physics. The vicinity of the proto-neutron star in a core-collapse supernova is characterized by large matter and neutrino densities. A salient feature of…
The theoretical basics of neutrino mass and mixing are reviewed. Dirac and Majorana masses are explained, and added together to produce the see-saw picture of the lightness of neutrinos. This picture predicts that neutrinos are Majorana…
As an alternative for popular see-saw mechanism, the option of three pseudo% -Dirac neutrinos is discussed, where ${1/2}(m^{(L)} + m^{(R)}) \ll m^{(D)}$ for their Majorana and Dirac masses. The actual neutrino mass matrix is assumed in the…
The current status and some perspectives of the phenomenology of massive neutrinos is reviewed. We start with the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter. We summarize the results of neutrino experiments using solar,…
We discuss various neutrino-nucleus interactions in connection with the supernova r-process nucleosynthesis, which possibly occurs in the neutrino-driven wind of a young neutron star. These interactions include absorptions of electron…
We consider the ``standard'' spectrum of the active neutrinos (characterized by strong mass hierarchy and small mixing) with additional sterile neutrino, $\nu_s$. The sterile neutrino mixes strongly with the muon neutrino, so that…
We study the evolution of massive mixed Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in matter under the influence of a transversal magnetic field. The analysis is based on relativistic quantum mechanics. We solve exactly the evolution equation for…
The topic of this review is the particle astrophysics of high energy neutrinos. High energy is defined as $E_{\nu} > 100$~MeV. Main topics include: -- atmospheric neutrinos and muons from $\pi$, $K$ and charm decay. They probe uncharted…
I concentrate on two topics. One is techniques to distinguish amongst various oscillation scenarios from atmospheric neutrino data; and the other is the Borexino solar neutrino detector and its capabilities.
In these lecture notes I briefly discuss the present day situation and new discoveries in astrophysics of neutron stars focusing on isolated objects. The latter include soft gamma repeaters, anomalous X-ray pulsars, central compact objects…
The present status of the neutrino magnetic moment solutions of the solar neutrino problem is summarized. After a brief review of the basics of the neutrino spin and spin-flavor precession I discuss the experimental data and show how the…
The behavior of the neutrino flux in vortex and twisting magnetic fields is considered within the left-right symmetric model. By way of illustration of the magnetic fields we discuss the magnetic fields of the coupled sunspots (CS's) which…
We review the role of massive neutrinos in astrophysics and cosmology, assuming that the oscillation interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrinos is correct. In particular, we discuss cosmological mass limits, neutrino flavor…
After a brief introduction to neutrino mass via the see-saw model I discuss neutrino mixing and oscillation, first in vacuum and then its matter enhancement. Then the solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data are briefly reviewed.…
