Signatures of Ultralight Dark Matter in Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

Understand

We study how neutrino oscillations could probe the existence of ultralight bosonic dark matter.

• Three distinct signatures on neutrino oscillations are identified, depending on the mass of the dark matter and the specific experimental setup.
• These are time modulation signals, oscillation probability distortions due to fast modulations, and fast varying matter effects.
• We provide all the necessary information to perform a bottom-up, model-independent experimental analysis to probe such scenarios.
