Wave packet treatment of neutrino flavour and spin oscillations in galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields
Abstract
We consider neutrino flavour and spin oscillations in a magnetic field using formalism of wave packets. Decoherence effects due to neutrino wave packets separation are studied. The considered effects are especially important for describing astrophysical neutrino oscillations, since they propagate on kiloparsec scale and bigger. The obtained results are of interest for neutrino telescopes IceCube, Baikal-GVD and KM3NeT, and also can be applied for description of supernovae neutrino oscillations effects would be detected by JUNO and Hyper-Kamiokande.
