Supernova Bursts as a Probe of Neutrino Nature via $CEνNS$ Coherent Scattering

This paper proposes that by analyzing the distinct signatures of Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession in supernova neutrinos via Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEν\nuNS) and normalizing with high-energy neutrinos to cancel astrophysical uncertainties, future detectors can distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrino natures and probe magnetic moments down to 1014μB10^{-14} \mu_B without violating SN1987A cooling constraints.

Solar Flares as a Probe of Neutrino Nature: Distinguishing Dirac and Majorana via Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession

This paper proposes that Resonant Spin-Flavor Precession of ultra-high-energy solar flare neutrinos in specific magnetic field regions can distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrino natures by analyzing scattering cross-section asymmetries, while also offering a pathway to significantly improve limits on the neutrino magnetic moment if no such asymmetry is observed.

Quantum Fisher Information Revealing Parameter Sensitivity in Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiments

This paper employs Quantum Fisher Information to establish fundamental precision bounds on the estimation of the CP-violating phase δCP\delta_{\mathrm{CP}}, the atmospheric mixing angle θ23\theta_{23}, and the mass-squared difference Δm312\Delta m_{31}^{2} in long-baseline neutrino experiments, revealing distinct, L/EL/E-dependent sensitivity hierarchies and bimodal or unimodal profiles that correspond to specific oscillation maxima.

Chromomagnetic Condensate in Finite-Temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory under Imaginary Rotation

This paper investigates finite-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory under imaginary rotation, demonstrating that such rotation modifies the chromomagnetic condensate and Polyakov loop, partially suppresses the Nielsen-Olesen instability, strengthens the effective coupling at high temperatures, and induces a negative contribution to the moment of inertia.

The Sensitivity of DUNE in Presence of Off-Diagonal Scalar NSI Parameters

This paper investigates how complex off-diagonal scalar non-standard interactions (NSI) and their associated phases impact the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment's (DUNE) sensitivity to the leptonic CP phase, revealing significant modifications to CP measurements, potential degeneracies with the CP phase, and dependencies on the absolute neutrino mass scale.
