Abstract: | Neutrino physics is a rich area of study, displaying a variety of interesting physical phenomena. The ghostly particles are important for probing different astrophysical phenomena from solar physics, to cosmology, to supernova explosions. In this talk, I will explore vacuum oscillations, and the effect of a matter background and a neutrino background on neutrino propagation. I will also discuss the numerical methods implemented in pursuit of the solution to the nonlinear equations of motion which govern the phenomena, and I will discuss challenges presented by the solution. | |
