Besides the fact of parity violation in weak interactions, based on evidences from neutrino oscillation and tritium beta decay, a natural conjecture is that neutrinos may be spacelike particles with a tiny proper mass. A Dirac-type equation…
It is shown that neutrino oscillation and Majorana type neutrino are not compatible with Special Theory of Relativity. Instead of the Majorana type neutrino, traditional neutrino(no rest mass) is considered with additional assumptions that…
Based on experimental evidences supporting the hypothesis that neutrinos might be spacelike particles, a new Dirac-type equation is proposed and a spin-1/2 spacelike quantum theory is developed. The new Dirac-type equation provides a…
A restriction was found in the mathematics of the Dirac equation for a free neutrino type of particle. The basic assumption here is the equivalence of the four variables of spacetime. A perspective is defined as a metric tensor format. We…
The conventional derivation of neutrino oscillation treats neutrino mass eigenstate as plane wave with an overall evolution phase. Nevertheless, due to the intrinsic parity-violating nature of weak interactions, only the left-chiral…
The origin of parity violation in physics is still unknown. At the present time, it is introduced in the theory by requiring that the SU(2) subgroup entering the description of interactions involves the left components. In the present…
Hadronic parity violation concerns the study of the interplay of the weak- and strong-interaction dynamics that yields low energy, parity-violating observables in systems of hadrons and nuclei. We explain its essential features, as well as…
Trying to combine standard quantum field theories with gravity leads to a breakdown of the usual structure of space-time at around the Planck length, 1.6*10^{-35} m, with possible violations of Lorentz invariance. Calculations of…
Weak interactions in neutron $\beta$-decay exhibit parity violation through the preferential emission of right-handed antineutrinos. We identify this symmetry breaking with a reduction of phase space due to the small neutrino mass. During a…
We study the non-relativistic limit of Dirac equation for mixed neutrinos. We demonstrate that such a procedure inevitably leads to a redefinition of the inertial mass. This happens because, in contrast to the case when mixing is absent,…
Studies of the strangeness changing hadronic weak interaction have produced a number of puzzles that have so far evaded a complete explanation within the Standard Model. Their origin may lie either in dynamics peculiar to weak interactions…
Supernovae provide a unique opportunity for large scale parity violation because they are dominated by neutrinos. We calculate the parity violating asymmetry A of neutrino emission in a strong magnetic field. We assume the neutrinos…
Lorentz invariance is a well known fundamental concept of special relativity but its violation is predicted by some variations of quantum gravity, string theory, and some alternatives to general relativity. We study neutrino oscillation at…
From a cosmological perspective, scalar fields are well-motivated dark matter and dark energy candidates. Several possibilities of neutrino couplings with a time-varying cosmic field have been investigated in the literature. In this work,…
(abridged) The physical mechanisms that make a neutrino with standard-model (SM) weak interactions a "lepton-number conservation (LNC) violating" neutrino such as the Majorana neutrino are analysed in a basis of two Majorana states that…
This work explores the possibility of resorting to neutrino phenomenology to detect evidence of new physics, caused by the residual signals of the supposed quantum structure of spacetime. In particular, this work investigates the effects on…
Core collapse supernovae are dominated by weakly interacting neutrinos. This provides a unique opportunity for macroscopic parity violation. We speculate that parity violation in a strong magnetic field can lead to an asymmetry in the…
In this paper the interaction of high energy neutrinos with weak gravitational fields is briefly explored. The form of the graviton-neutrino vertex is motivated from Lorentz and gauge invariance and the non-relativistic interpretations of…
Macro-coherent atomic de-excitation involving a neutrino pair emission, radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP) $|e\rangle \rightarrow |g\rangle + \gamma +\nu_i \nu_j$ (with $\gamma$ a photon and $\nu_i$ a neutrino mass eigenstate), is a…
A symmetry violation model is considered for a system that can spontaneously choose between identical states which differ from each other only in weak properties (R-L). Such mirror symmetry allows reproduction of observed qualitative…
