| contents | In the $ν$SM extended by adding an eV-scale sterile state, the $(3+1)$ model, the sterile-active level crossing entails the MSW resonance, here referred as the sterile-active (SA) resonance. In this paper, we construct an effective theory of SA resonance which involves only the sterile-active mixing angles and $Δm^2_{41}$, thanks to the given environment of high matter potential which freezes the $ν$SM oscillations. We give our first attempt at an analytic treatment of the effective theory to illuminate the global picture of the SA resonance at a glance. We formulate a perturbative framework in which the structure of ``texture zeros'' of the $S$ matrix in the flavor space and the suppression by the small parameters $\sin θ_{j 4}$ ($j=1,2,3$) allows us to reveal the flavor$-$event-type hierarchy of the resonance-effect strength in the probabilities. We have shown that the cascade events dominantly comes from the three paths through $P(ν_{e} \rightarrow ν_{e})$, $P(\barν_{e} \rightarrow \barν_{e})$, and $P(\barν_μ \rightarrow \barν_τ)$, and a three-component fit is suggested to disentangle the SA resonance generation mechanisms. |
