Thermodynamics of oscillating neutrinos
Lucas Johns
Abstract
The title theory is formulated. It entails a quantum-coherent variant of the Fermi-Dirac distribution and casts new light on neutrino oscillations. It might enable the incorporation of neutrino mixing into the modeling of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers.
