QFT results for neutrino oscillations and New Physics

Understand

The CP asymmetry in neutrino oscillations, assuming new physics at production and/or detection processes, is analyzed.

• We compute this CP asymmetry using the standard quantum field theory within a general new physics scenario that may generate new sources of CP and flavor violation.
• Well known results for the CP asymmetry are reproduced in the case of V -A operators, and additional contributions from new physics operators are derived.
• We apply this formalism to SUSY extensions of the Standard Model where the contributions from new operators could produce a CP asymmetry observable in the next generation of neutrino experiments.
