Neutrino Quantum Kinetic Equations [SSA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1506.06222


Neutrinos propagate in astrophysical and cosmological environments modifying their flavor in intriguing ways. The study of neutrino propagation in media is based on the mean-field, extended mean-field and Boltzmann equations. We summarise salient features of these evolution equations and the methods employed so far to derive them. We emphasize applications to situations of observational interest.
