Electron Neutrino Sources from the Core of the Earth
A. Widom, E. Sassaroli, Y. N. Srivastava
The physical interpretation of extensive measurements of electron neutrinos (in laboratories located on or somewhat below the Earth's surface) often require geophysical notions con…
Neutrino Mass Difference Induced Oscillations in Observed Muon Decays
Y. N. Srivastava, S. Palit, A. Widom +1
The recent real time KARMEN anomaly for the electron neutrino counting rates (obtained from stopped muon decays) is analyzed by employing a neutrino flavor rotation model in which…
Neutrino Flavor Mixing and Oscillations in Field Theory
E. Sassaroli
The Lagrangian that is normally associated with Dirac neutrinos is analyzed in a complete and simple way through field theory. It is found that the elements of the neutrino mass ma…
The Dynamical and Static Casimir Effects and the Thermodynamic Instability
E. Sassaroli, Y. N. Srivastava, J. Swain +1
The dynamical Casimir effect for the ideal case of two perfectly conducting non-charged parallel plates, is discussed using the zero-point energy summation method to the first orde…
An Explicit Model of Quark Mass Matrix
E. Sassaroli
A physical model which describes the CKM matrix is analyzed. The elements of such a matrix are field-strength renormalization factors. Each column gives the probability amplitude f…
The Casimir Effect and Thermodynamic Instability
A. Widom, E. Sassaroli, Y. N. Srivastava +1
One loop field theory calculations of free energies quite often yield violations of the stability conditions associated with the thermodynamic second law. Perhaps the best known ex…
