Synchronisation and MSW sharpening of neutrinos propagating in a flavour blind medium
Nicole F. Bell, R. F. Sawyer, Raymond R. Volkas
We consider neutrino oscillations in a medium in which scattering processes are blind to the neutrino flavour. We present an analytical derivation of the synchronised behaviour obt…
The Salpeter plasma correction for solar fusion reactions
John N. Bahcall, Lowell Brown, Andrei Gruzinov +1
We review five different derivations that demonstrate that the Salpeter formula for the plasma corrections to fusion rates is valid at the center of the sun with insignificant erro…
Coherent oscillation in a linear quantum system coupled to a thermal bath
N. F. Bell, R. F. Sawyer, R. R. Volkas
We consider the time development of the density matrix for a system coupled to a thermal bath, in models that go beyond the standard two-level systems through addition of an energy…
Finite temperature corrections to weak rates prior to nucleosynthesis
Lowell S. Brown, R. F. Sawyer
We have reexamined the electromagnetic corrections to the weak interaction rates for the transformation of neutrons to protons, and protons to neutrons, in the early universe, befo…
