An effective two-flavor approximation for neutrino survival probabilities in matter

Abstract It is known in vacuum that the three-flavor neutrino survival probability can be approximated by the effective two-flavor form to first orders in ϵ≡Δm 21 2 /Δm 31 2 , with introduction of the effective Δm αα 2 (α = e, μ, τ), in regions of neutrino energy E and baseline L such that Δm 31 2 L...
