Looking for matter enhanced neutrino oscillations via day v. night asymmetries in the NCD phase of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
… during passage through the Earth via the MSW effect, the difference in electron neutrino flux between day and night is measured at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). To be able to distinguish an actual discrepancy from an artifact, the detector properties and backgrounds are studied …

Testing the Leggett-Garg inequality with solar neutrinos
… they undergo the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein Effect and exit the sun in either of two mass eigenstates, depending on their energy. Using the neutrino energy to predict the flavor state when it begins traversing the vacuum between the sun and the Earth, we can construct two-time correlation …

Neutrino Oscillations: Eighty Years In Review
<p>In order to discuss neutrino oscillations, it is necessary to have knowledge of the developments in the field spanning the last eighty years. The existence of the neutrino was posited by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 to account for the mass defect in beta decay, and to this day physicists are still …
