Sterile neutrinos: propagation in matter and sensitivity to sterile mass ordering
A bstract We analytically calculate the neutrino conversion probability P μe in the presence of sterile neutrinos, with exact dependence on $$ \Delta {m}_{41}^2 $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mtext>∆</mml:mtext> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:mn>41</mml:mn> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:msubsup> </mml:math> and with matter effects explicitly included. Using perturbative expansion in small parameters, the terms involving the …
