Particle mixing and quantum reference frames
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Aniello Quaranta
We discuss the role of quantum reference frames in providing a viable definition of rest frame for mixed particles. We then analyze the related concept of frame-dependent entanglem…
Dark matter induced by neutrino mixing and flavor vacuum condensate probed by neutrino capture on tritium
Antonio Capolupo, Simone Monda, Gabriele Pisacane +2
We show that experiments designed to capture low energy neutrinos, like PTOLEMY are sensitive to the specific neutrino model. In particular, they might show a signature of the cond…
Searching for mirror neutrons and dark matter with cold neutron interferometry
Antonio Capolupo, Gabriele Pisacane, Aniello Quaranta +1
We report a novel neutron interferometry scheme aimed at probing the potential existence of mirror neutrons, which have been proposed as viable dark matter candidates. Our theoreti…
Missing matter in galaxies as a neutrino mixing effect
Antonio Capolupo, Salvatore Capozziello, Gabriele Pisacane +1
We show that, in the framework of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, the semiclassical energy-momentum tensor of the neutrino flavor vacuum fulfills the equation of state of…
