  1. 1. Expansions of neutrino oscillation and decay probabilities in matter

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jesper Grönroos; [2023]
    Keywords : Theoretical physics; Particle physics; Neutrino physics; Neutrino oscillations; Series expansions; Physics beyond the Standard Model; Teoretisk fysik; Partikelfysik; Neutrinofysik; Neutrinooscillationer; Serieutvecklingar; Fysik bortom Standardmodellen;

    Abstract : We consider a simple model for invisible neutrino decay as a sub-leading effect in the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framework, and use the Cayley–Hamilton formalism to obtain a full set of neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter. These are given as analytical series expansions in the small parameters α ∼ O(λ^2) and s_13 ∼ O(λ), where λ ≡ 0. READ MORE

  2. 2. Neutrino Oscillations and Scalar Non-Standard Interactions at ESSnuSB

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : William Brorsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report consists of two parts. Firstly, an introduction to neutrino oscillations is presented. This includes introducing neutrino mass terms into the standard model, the leptonic mixing matrix, neutrino oscillations in vacuum and neutrino oscillations in matter. READ MORE

  3. 3. Investigation of the Effects of Invisible Neutrino Decay at the Proposed ESSnuSB Experiment

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Daniel Kempe; [2021]
    Keywords : Neutrino; Decay; Neutrino oscillations; Neutrino oscillation experiment; Neutrino; Sönderfall; Neutrinooscillationer; Neutrinooscillationsexperiment;

    Abstract : This thesis studies neutrino oscillations at the proposed ESSnuSB experiment and the effects of invisible decay, where the neutrino mass states are assumed to be able to decay, on the planned measurements and the physics potential for this experiment to detect neutrino decays. This is accomplished by simulating a combined scenario of neutrino oscillations and invisible neutrino decay. READ MORE

  4. 4. Neutrino oscillations at the ESSnuSB experiment

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Hanna Wik; Kenny Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This report aims to study the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations through derivation of the formulas for their transition probabilities in two flavors and expansions thereof in three flavors. By studying the series expansions of the transition probabilities in three flavors, one could get a clearer understanding of the effect of matter and the CP-violating phase, $\delta_{CP}$ on neutrino oscillations.

  5. 5. Neutrino oscillations at very high energy/matter density

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Mathilde Guillaud; [2020]
    Keywords : Theoretical Physics; Neutrino Oscillations; Astrophysical Neutrinos; Teoretisk fysik; Neutrinooscillationer; Astrofysiska neutriner;

    Abstract : Neutrino oscillations in matter can be studied in different regimes, depending on the energy of the incoming neutrinos and the matter density of the medium. In this thesis we investigate neutrino oscillations in dense matter at very high energy (TeV-PeV range), taking into account the absorption that the neutrinos may undergo in such dense media.
