PENDULUM IN FLAVOR SPACE<br />

[Hannestad, Raffelt, Sigl, Wong, astro-ph/0608695, Duan, Carlson, Fuller, Qian, astro-ph/0703776]<br />

Neutrino mass hierarchy (and q 13 ) set initial condition and fate<br />

• Normal hierarchy<br />

Pendulum starts in ~ downard (stable)<br />

positions and stays nearby. No significant<br />

flavor change.<br />

Normal hierarchy<br />

• Inverted hierarchy<br />

Pendulum starts in ~ upward (unstable)<br />

positions and eventually falls down.<br />

Significant flavor changes.<br />

Inverted hierarchy<br />

q 13 sets initial misalignment with vertical. Specific value not much relevant.<br />
