New neutrino spin oscillations in moving matter and magnetic fields

Abstract

After a short introduction to the history of neutrino mixing and oscillations, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first analytical expression for the neutrino evolution probability obtained by Gribov and Pontecorvo in 1969 by the discussion of two new phenomena in neutrino oscillations: 1) the emergence of the neutrino spin and spin-flavour oscillations engendered by the transversal in respect to neutrino propagation matter currents, and 2) an inherent interplay of neutrino oscillations on the vacuum ${\omega }_{vac}=\frac{\Delta m^2}{4p}$ and magnetic ${\omega }_B=\mu B_{\perp }$ frequencies in the case of neutrino propagation in a constance magnetics field. We also predict a new phenomena of the modification of the flavour neutrino oscillations probability in moving matter that can be engendered by a non-vanishing matter transversal current ${\mathbf{j}}_{\perp }=n{\mathbf{v}}_{\perp }$.
