Description
The phenomena of neutrino oscillations emerges due to coherent superposition of neutrino mass states. An external environment can modify a neutrino evolution in a way that the superposition will be violated. Such violation calls quantum decoherence of neutrino states and leads to a suppression of flavor oscillations. In this work we present the developed in [1-5] a new theoretical framework, based on the quantum field theory of open systems applied to neutrinos. Within this framework we proposed and considered a new mechanism of the neutrino quantum decoherence engendered by the neutrino radiative decay to photons and dark photons in an astrophysical environment (e.g., supernovae) [4-5].
