Neutrino spin operator and dispersion in moving matter

Abstract

We found a spin integral of motion for neutrino, which propagates in moving and polarized matter. The operator obtained opens up the possibility of consistent classification of neutrino states in such a medium and, as a consequence, a systematic description of the related physical phenomena. Using the operator, we obtain a dispersion relation for neutrinos and consider its particular cases.
