Dark matter induced by neutrino mixing and flavor vacuum condensate probed by neutrino capture on tritium

Abstract

We show that experiments designed to capture low energy neutrinos, like PTOLEMY are sensitive to the specific neutrino model. In particular, they might show a signature of the condensed flavor vacuum, featured in the flavor Fock space model, and allow to test the hypothesis according to which a possible dark matter component is determined by neutrino mixing.
