Neutrino mixing as a source of dark energy

arXiv:astro-ph/0602467 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2006.10.084

Abstract

We show that the vacuum condensate due to neutrino mixing in quantum field theory (QFT) contributes to the dark energy budget of the universe which gives rise to the accelerated behavior of cosmic flow. The mechanism of neutrino mixing is therefore a possible candidate to contribute to the cosmological dark energy.
