Active-sterile neutrino oscillations and pulsar kicks
M. Barkovich, J. C. D'Olivo, R. Montemayor
Abstract
We develop a thorough description of neutrino oscillations in a magnetized protoneutron star, based on a resonance layer for neutrinos with different momentum directions. We apply our approach to the calculation of the asymmetry in the neutrino emission during the birth of a neutron star and the pulsar acceleration in the case of an active-sterile neutrino resonant conversion. The observed velocities can be obtained with the magnetic fields expected in the interior of a protoneutron star, for sterile neutrino masses of the order of KeV and small mixing angles.
