Flavor neutrino oscillations in matter moving with acceleration    [PDF]

Alexander I. Studenikin, Ilya V. Tokarev
A short review on studies of neutrino flavor oscillations in moving with a constant speed matter is presented. Then neutrino flavor oscillations in matter moving with acceleration are considered. We develop an approach that is valid for both non-relativistic and relativistic matter motion. For both these cases the effective neutrino potentials in accelerating matter are obtained and neutrino flavor oscillation probabilities and the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein resonance conditions are evaluated. The obtained results in the limit of zero matter acceleration reproduce the corresponding expressions for the case of matter at rest. The developed approach is applied for neutrino flavor oscillations in the case of rotating matter. The results obtained might be of interest for astrophysical applications.
