Probing quantum decoherence in atmospheric neutrino oscillations with a neutrino telescope
arXiv:astro-ph/0412618 · doi:10.1016/j.astropartphys.2006.03.001
Abstract
Quantum decoherence, the evolution of pure states into mixed states, may be a feature of quantum gravity. In this paper, we show how these effects can be modelled for atmospheric neutrinos and illustrate how the standard oscillation picture is modified. We examine how neutrino telescopes, such as ANTARES, are able to place upper bounds on these quantum decoherence effects.
