How do neutrinos oscillate in moving and accelerated matter?

Abstract

Neutrino flavour oscillations in a nonuniformly moving matter are considered. The neutrino oscillation resonance condition in presence of matter, in the most general case when matter is moving with acceleration, is derived for the first time. We predict that the effect of matter acceleration can have significant influence on neutrino oscillations pattern in different astrophysical environments.
