Abstract

The quasi-classical equation that describes both neutrino flavor oscillations and spin rotation in dense matter is obtained in the framework of quantum field theory. The solution of this equation for homogeneous medium is found. The probabilities of the spin-flavor transitions in unpolarized moving matter are calculated in the two-flavor model. We show that if the medium is at rest the neutrino helicity is conserved and the flavor transition probabilities are equal to those obtained using the phenomenological approach.
