Thermodynamics of oscillating neutrinos
Lucas Johns
TL;DR
This paper develops a thermodynamic framework for oscillating neutrinos, introducing a quantum-coherent Fermi-Dirac distribution to better understand neutrino behavior in astrophysical phenomena.
Contribution
It presents a novel theoretical formulation that integrates neutrino oscillations into thermodynamics, potentially improving models of supernovae and neutron star mergers.
Findings
Formulated a quantum-coherent Fermi-Dirac distribution for neutrinos.
Provides new insights into neutrino oscillation thermodynamics.
Lays groundwork for improved astrophysical modeling.
Abstract
The title theory is formulated. It entails a quantum-coherent variant of the Fermi-Dirac distribution and casts new light on neutrino oscillations. It might enable the incorporation of neutrino mixing into the modeling of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers.
