Abstract

If there was a coupling between neutrinos and Dark Matter, then there could be an induced modulation of the neutrino-mixing spectrum analogous to the one produced by the MSW effect. The possible results of such a modulation have previously been investigated for the case where coherent effects cannot be isolated and the resulting pattern is de-coherent. This presentation is on an investigation that included coherent effects, which are relevant for very high-energy neutrinos as the wave-packets remain coherent over cosmological distances. The investigation found that observable coherent effects are produced by potentials several orders of magnitude smaller than the minimum potential required to produce an observable de-coherent effect, with the amount being baseline dependent. This extends the range of observability down to levels where an interaction is likely to exist, if it exists at all. The significant challenges in making such an observation will be covered.
