Can lepton flavor violating interactions explain the atmosph(5)

发布时间:2021-06-07

We investigate whether flavor changing neutrino interactions (FCNIs) can be sufficiently large to provide a viable solution to the atmospheric neutrino problem. Effective operators induced by heavy boson exchange that allow for flavor changing neutrino sca
