Relic neutrino asymmetry evolution from first principles
read the original abstract
The exact Quantum Kinetic Equations for a two-flavour active-sterile neutrino system are used to provide a systematic derivation of approximate evolution equations for the relic neutrino asymmetry. An extension of the adiabatic approximation for matter-affected neutrino oscillations is developed which incorporates decoherence due to collisions. Exact and approximate expressions for the decoherence and repopulation functions are discussed. A first pass is made over the exact treatment of multi-flavour partially incoherent oscillations.

Non-adiabatic transitions in the density matrix formalism
Density matrix formalism supplies a general analytical solution for non-adiabatic transitions in two-state systems that interpolates between the LZSM regime and the extremely non-adiabatic limit.
