4.1 CP effects with neutrino interactions at tree<br />

level<br />

4.1.1 Exact analytical formulas<br />

In this section, our aim is simple: try to obtain relations on the oscillating<br />

probabilities in matter at tree level, showing explicit dependence of the Dirac<br />

CP-violating phase δ. All along this section we work with <strong>neutrinos</strong> but the<br />

derivation and the implications would be exactly the same for anti-<strong>neutrinos</strong>.<br />

The factorization<br />

To do so, we start naturally with the evolution equation of <strong>neutrinos</strong> in matter<br />

within the wave functions formalism. In three flavours, the MSW equation (1.44)<br />

is<br />

for the neutral current. Since Vn only contributes an overall phase to the neutrino<br />

evolution we ignore it. For now we ignore any corrections to the interactions<br />

between <strong>neutrinos</strong> and matter beyond tree-level. We also do not consider here<br />

the neutrino-neutrino interactions. Such additional interactions will be discussed<br />

in section (4.2) and chapter 5 and 6 respectively. Our goal is to make the phase<br />

δ explicitly appear. This phase is contained in the T13 rotation matrix and can<br />

be factorized easily to yield the relation:<br />

T13 = S T 0 13 S†<br />
