Solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein Effect with Three Generations of Neutrinos

Under the assumption that the density variation of the electrons can beapproximated by an exponential function, the solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfensteineffect is treated for three generations of neutrinos. The generalizedhypergeometric functions that result from the exact solution of this problemare s...

description Under the assumption that the density variation of the electrons can beapproximated by an exponential function, the solar Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfensteineffect is treated for three generations of neutrinos. The generalizedhypergeometric functions that result from the exact solution of this problemare studied in detail, and a method for their numerical evaluation ispresented. This analysis plays a central role in the determination of neutrinomasses, not only the differences of their squares, under the assumption ofuniversal quark-lepton mixing.
