Neutrino evolution and quantum decoherence

Abstract

Neutrino interactions with an external environment can in influence the neutrino oscillation pattern and the oscillations can be damped as a result of the neutrino quantum decoherence. In particular, the quantum decoherence of neutrino states engendered by the neutrino radiative decay accounting for the nonstandard interactions (NSI) leads to the suppression of flavor neutrino oscillations in the solar neutrino fluxes.
