| contents | In the framework of quantum field theory, we analyze the neutrino oscillations in the presence of a torsion background. We consider the Einstein-Cartan theory and we study the cases of constant torsion and of linearly time dependent torsion. We derive new neutrino oscillation formulae which are depending on the spin orientation. Indeed the energy splitting induced by the torsion influences oscillation amplitudes and frequencies. This effect is maximal for values of torsion of the same order of the neutrino masses and for very low momenta, and disappears for large values of torsion. Moreover, neutrino oscillation is inhibited for intensities of torsion term much larger than neutrino masses and momentum. The modifications induced by torsion on the $CP$-asymmetry has been also presented. Future experiments, such as PTOLEMY, could provide insights into the effect shown here. |
