A New Lorentz-Violating Model of Neutrino Oscillations

TL;DR

This paper introduces a Lorentz-violating neutrino oscillation model that explains high-energy behavior without neutrino masses and predicts diverse low-energy phenomena, including oscillations into antineutrinos and sterile neutrinos.

Contribution

It presents a novel Lorentz-violating framework for neutrino oscillations that does not depend on neutrino masses, expanding theoretical possibilities.

Findings

High-energy mass-like behavior observed

Predictions of oscillations into antineutrinos and sterile neutrinos

Model provides alternative explanations to standard neutrino oscillation theories

Abstract

A new model for neutrino oscillations is introduced, in which mass-like behavior is seen at high energies, but various behavior can be predicted at low energies. The model employs no neutrino masses, but instead relies on the Lorentz-violating parameters a and c. Oscillations into antineutrinos and sterile neutrinos are also considered.
