Neutrinos propagating in media (matter and electromagnetic fields) undergo flavor and helicity oscillations, where helicity transitions are instigated both by electromagnetic fields and matter currents. In addition, it has been shown that correlations between neutrinos and antineutrinos of opposite momentum can build up in anisotropic media. We re-derive the neutrino equations of motion in the mean-field approximation for homogeneous yet anisotropic media, confirming previous results except for a small correction in the Majorana case. Furthermore, we derive the mean-field Hamiltonian induced by neutrino electromagnetic interactions. We also provide a phenomenological discussion of pair correlations in comparison with helicity correlations.

  1. Comparative Testing of Subgrid Models for Fast Neutrino Flavor Conversions in Core-collapse Supernova Simulations

    astro-ph.HE 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A 1D supernova simulation with four-species BGK subgrid modeling shows that three-species assumptions overestimate flavor conversion and that semi-implicit time integration is the most reliable.

  2. Neutrino helicity oscillations in astrophysical environments: a many-body approach

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Many-body neutrino calculations in simple momentum-state configurations yield helicity conversion probabilities orders of magnitude above mean-field results due to momentum exchange.
