It has been recently shown that the flavor composition of a self-interacting neutrino gas can spontaneously acquire a time-dependent pulsating component during its flavor evolution. In this work, we perform a more detailed study of this effect in a model where neutrinos are assumed to be emitted in a two-dimensional plane from an infinite line that acts as a neutrino antenna. We consider several examples with varying matter and neutrino densities and find that temporal instabilities with various frequencies are excited in a cascade. We compare the numerical calculations of the flavor evolution with the predictions of linearized stability analysis of the equations of motion. The results obtained with these two approaches are in good agreement in the linear regime, while a dramatic speed-up of the flavor

We investigate collective flavor oscillations of supernova neutrinos at late stages of the explosion. We first show that the frequently used single-angle (averaged coupling) approximation predicts oscillations close to, or perhaps even inside, the neutrinosphere, potentially invalidating the basic neutrino transport paradigm. Fortunately, we also find that the single-angle approximation breaks down in this regime; in the full multiangle calculation, the oscillations start safely outside the transport region. The new suppression effect is traced to the interplay between the dispersion in the neutrino-neutrino interactions and the vacuum oscillation term.
We consider a simplifed model for self-induced flavor
We consider matter density effects in theories with a false ground state. Large and dense systems, such as stars, can destabilize a metastable minimum and allow for the formation of bubbles of the true minimum. We derive the conditions under which these bubbles form, as well as the conditions under which they either remain confined to the dense region or escape to infinity. The latter case leads to a phase transition in the universe at star formation. We explore the phenomenological consequences of such seeded phase transitions.
We study the reasonable requirements of two anomalous $U(1)$s in a flavored-axion framework for the anomaly cancellations of both $U(1)$-mixed gravity and $U(1)_Ytimes[U(1)]^2$ which in turn determine the $U(1)_Y$ charges where $U(1)_Y$ is the hypercharge gauge symmetry of the standard model. We argue that, with a flavor symmetry group, axion-induced topology in symmetry-broken phases plays crucial roles in describing how quarks and leptons are organized at a fundamental level and make deep connections with each other. A unified model, as an example, is then proposed in a simple way to describe a whole spectrum of particles where both flavored-axion interactions with normal matter and the masses and mixings of fermions emerge from the spontaneous breaking of a given symmetry group. Once a scale of active neutrino mass defined at a seesaw scale is fixed by the commensurate $U(1)$ flavored-PQ charge of fermions, that of QCD axion decay constant $F_A$ is determined. In turn, fundamental physical parameters complementary to each other are predicted with the help of precision flavor experiments. Model predictions are extracted on the characteristics of neutrino and flavored-axion: $F_A=3.57^{,+1.52}_{,-1.53}times10^{10}$ GeV (consequently, QCD axion mass $m_a=1.52^{+1.14}_{-0.46}times10^{-4}$ eV, axion to photon coupling $|g_{agammagamma}|=2.15^{+1.61}_{-0.64}times10^{-14},text{GeV}^{-1}$, axion to electron coupling $g_{Aee}=3.29^{+2.47}_{-0.98}times10^{-14}$, etc.); atmospheric mixing angle $theta_{23}$, Dirac CP phase $delta_{CP}$, and $0 ubetabeta${it-decay rate} for normal mass ordering and inverted one by taking quantum corrections into account.
We predict the onset of self-induced parametric or Faraday instabilities in a laser, spontaneously induced by the presence of pump depletion in the cavity, which leads to a periodic gain landscape for light propagating in the cavity. As a result of the instability, continuous wave oscillation becomes unstable even in the normal dispersion regime of the cavity, and a periodic train of pulses with ultrahigh repetition rate is generated. Application to the case of Raman fiber lasers is described, in good quantitative agreement between our conceptual analysis and numerical modeling.
