Neutrino Dynamics in a Quantum-Corrected Schwarzschild Spacetime
We study neutrino propagation in a curved spacetime background described by the Schwarzschild solution with the addition of quantum corrections evaluated in the framework of perturbative quantum gravity at lowest order. In particular, we investigate neutrino oscillations and decoherence within the G...

| description | We study neutrino propagation in a curved spacetime background described by the Schwarzschild solution with the addition of quantum corrections evaluated in the framework of perturbative quantum gravity at lowest order. In particular, we investigate neutrino oscillations and decoherence within the Gaussian wave packet description, finding that quantum gravity corrections significantly affect the intrinsic features of mixed particles and induce potentially measurable physical effects. |
