Description

We investigate effects of nonzero Dirac and Majorana CP-violating phases on neutrino-antineutrino oscillations in a magnetic field of astrophysical environments. It is shown that in the presence of strong magnetic fields and dense matter, nonzero CP phases can induce new resonances in the oscillations channels $\nu_e \leftrightarrow \bar{\nu}_e$, $\nu_e \leftrightarrow \bar{\nu}_\mu$ and $\nu_e \leftrightarrow \bar{\nu}_{\tau}$. The resonances can potentially lead to significant phenomena in neutrino oscillations accessible for observation in future neutrino telescopes, such as JUNO, Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE. In particular, we show that neutrino-antineutrino oscillations combined with Majorana-type $CP$ violation can affect the $\bar{\nu}_e$/$\nu_e$ ratio for neutrinos coming from the supernovae explosion.
