Neutrino Oscillations in Dense Medium: Probing Particle Physics together with Astrophysics and Cosmology (Dense Neutrinos)
Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,
"Neutrinos are the most elusive of all elementary particles and play a crucial role in astrophysics and cosmology. The three different kinds (flavors) of neutrinos can convert into each other, a macroscopic quantum effect, by their flavor mixing. These ""flavor oscillations"" are strongly modified by the feeble refractive impact of matter, a conspiracy between the very small neutrino masses and th ...

On the trails of new neutrino properties (NuTrails)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
"Neutrino masses and mixing are the most tangible evidence for the shortcomings of the Standard Model and finding a more complete theory remains the most challenging task for elementary particle physics. Neutrinos can lead us on the trail to new physics, together with experiments at the LHC, flavor physics and cosmology. The best time for carrying out this project is now. Neutrino physics is more ...

Theory and astrophysical applications of neutrino flavor evolution (Neutrino Evolution)
Start date: Aug 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
Neutrino flavor oscillations in the astrophysical and cosmological context often require to go beyond the usual amplitude-level treatment that is typical for laboratory applications. Instead, a Boltzmann kinetic equation in terms of matrices of densities in flavor space is required that captures in a consistent way both the effect of oscillations, the refractive effect of a background medium, and ...
