| description | To discover the rest mass of neutrinos is one of the most challenging tasks bearing fundamental implications to particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. In the present paper we have estimated the rest mass of neutrinos by combining the experimental data for the solar and atmospheric neutrinos with a new theoretical assumption, having a simple physical interpretation in the framework of the neutrino-antineutrino pair production from the vacuum by a strong external field. |

In the present paper we have estimated the rest mass of neutrinos by combining the experimental data for the solar and atmospheric neutrinos with a new theoretical assumption, having a simple physical interpretation in the framework of the neutrino-antineutrino pair production from the vacuum by a strong external field.We point out, that calculations leading to the cosmological constant problem, have been performed under the assumption of the validity of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP). We argue, that an eventual violation of the WEP, caused by the gravitational repulsion between matter and antimatter, may lead to the active gravitational mass (energy) of the vacuum, which is in surprisingly good agreement with cosmological observations.arXiv:0711.0439oai:cds.cern.ch:10672032007-11-06 |
