Testing Modified Teleparallel Gravity by Neutrino Oscillations

In the framework of modified teleparallel gravity, we study neutrino flavor conversion. We show how the presence of spacetime torsion modifies both neutrino flavor oscillation and the matter-enhanced Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) resonance. Using data from solar neutrino experiments, we perform an analysis to place new bounds on the modified teleparallel model parameters and neutrino-torsion coupling. Our numerical results indicate that the resulting modifications to the neutrino survival probability may explain potential observational discrepancies in current and future observatories without invoking new physics or non-standard interactions.

Mass Varying Neutrino Oscillation in Teleparallel Gravity

In the Cartan teleparallel formulation of gravity, a scalar field coupled to the torsion tensor can acquire an environment dependent effective mass. This gives rise to a screening effect: Inside dense bodies such as the Sun, the scalar field is suppressed, causing the mass varying neutrino mass to vary with local density. We investigate the impact of this torsion-induced screening on solar neutrino oscillations. The mechanism modifies the standard MSW resonance condition in a distinct way, leading to detectable shift in the flavor conversion probability. Using data from solar neutrino experiments (Super-Kamiokande, Borexino, SNO), we place constraints on the torsion-scalar coupling parameters. Our work provides concrete test of teleparallel gravity through mass varying neutrino oscillations.

Mass Varying Neutrino Oscillation in Scalar-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

We investigate how matter density affects neutrino oscillations by considering a mass-varying neutrino scenario where the neutrino mass depends on a scalar field. This scalar field is non-minimally coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet (GB) invariant, causing its profile to be implicitly influenced by the surrounding matter distribution. Using data from solar neutrino experiments, we derive constraints on the model parameters, providing new insights into the properties of mass-varying neutrino within the Gauss-Bonnet scalar-tensor framework.

Imprints of vector field non-standard couplings on solar neutrino flux

Regarding the proximity of dark energy scale and neutrino mass, one can get new insight into the probe signatures of vector field dark energy component on neutrino flavor conversion. A vector field is assumed to be conformally coupled to various matter components through a screening paradigm. We show how the oscillation probabilities evolve differently with a finite-size matter density like the Sun for different values of relevant model parameters. Considering existing neutrino flavor conversion data, we point out how this non-standard coupling affects neutrino fluxes and also we compute the discrepancy in the total flux of solar electron-neutrinos.

Chameleon-neutrino conformal coupling and MSW-mediated solar neutrino deficit

A modified version of the MSW effect is studied within the framework of screening models through conformal couplings of a scalar field within matter. Such a coupling leads to a new, unknown interaction between the scalar field and the neutrino. We mainly look for the discrepancy in the total solar electron-neutrinos flux through this interaction. Since the scalar field behavior depends on the local density of matter, we observe an indirect effect of matter on flavor changes, and subsequently, on neutrino flux through neutrino decay. The paper ends by describing various probabilities and comparing the results with observational data.

Screening models and neutrino oscillations

In screening models with scalar-matter conformal coupling, we study the flavor transition of neutrinos. We employ an analytical method for studying the oscillation phase in a spherically symmetric spacetime filled by a scalar field. Since the ambient matter density determines the scalar field's behavior, an indirect environmental effect contributes to the flavor conversion inside matter. We evaluate the survival probabilities and show that the existence of the scalar field affects the oscillations of neutrinos. We discuss the results in the framework of screening mechanisms and the end, confront our results with observational data.

Damped Neutrino Oscillations in a Conformal Coupling Model

Flavor transitions of Neutrinos with a nonstandard interaction are studied. A scalar field is conformally coupled to matter and neutrinos. This interaction alters the neutrino effective mass and its wavefunction leading to a damping factor, causing deficits in the probability densities and affecting the oscillation phase. As the matter density determines the scalar field's behavior, we also have an indirect matter density effect on the flavor conversion. We explain our results in the context of screening models and study the deficit in the total flux of electron-neutrinos produced in the Sun through the decay process and confront our results with observational data.
