1. Expansions of neutrino oscillation and decay probabilities in matter
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : 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. Birefringence: Effects and Implications on In-Ice Radio Detection of High-Energy Neutrinos
University essay from Uppsala universitet/HögenergifysikAbstract : The detection of high-energy neutrinos in the EeV range requires new detection techniques to cope with the small expected flux. The radio detection method, utilizing Askaryan emission, can be used to detect these neutrinos in polar ice. READ MORE

3. Investigations into neutrino flavor reconstruction from radio detector data using convolutional neural networks
University essay from Uppsala universitet/HögenergifysikAbstract : As the IceCube Neutrino Observatory seeks to expand its sensitivity to high PeV-EeV energies by means of the radio technique, the need for fast, efficient and reliable reconstruction methods to recover neutrino properties from radio detector data has emerged. The first recorded investigation into the possibilities of using a neural network based approach to flavor reconstruction is presented. READ MORE

4. Neutrino oscillations at very high energy/matter density
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : 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.
