Gravitational lensing of neutrinos in the scalar-tensor-vector gravity

We investigate the gravitational lensing effects on neutrino oscillations within the framework of Modified Gravity (MOG). By modeling neutrinos as both plane waves and Gaussian wave packets, we analyze how the presence of a massive lensing object between the neutrino source and detector modifies the flavor transition probabilities. In the plane-wave approximation, we derive analytical expressions for lensing-induced interference patterns, showing explicit dependence on the MOG parameter α , the impact parameters, and the neutrino mass hierarchy. Extending the analysis to a wave-packet framework, we account for decoherence effects and quantify the damping of oscillation amplitudes due to finite energy and spatial spreads of the wave packets. We compute the decoherence length and damping factor for a realistic Sun–Earth system and demonstrate how both the absolute neutrino mass scale and the MOG parameter influence coherence loss. Our results indicate that gravitational lensing in alternative gravity theories can leave observable imprints on neutrino oscillation patterns, offering a novel probe of both neutrino properties and modifications of General Relativity.

Abstract

We investigate the gravitational lensing effects on neutrino oscillations within the framework of Modified Gravity (MOG). By modeling neutrinos as both plane waves and Gaussian wave packets, we analyze how the presence of a massive lensing object between the neutrino source and detector modifies the flavor transition probabilities. In the plane-wave approximation, we derive analytical expressions for lensing-induced interference patterns, showing explicit dependence on the MOG parameter α , the impact parameters, and the neutrino mass hierarchy. Extending the analysis to a wave-packet framework, we account for decoherence effects and quantify the damping of oscillation amplitudes due to finite energy and spatial spreads of the wave packets. We compute the decoherence length and damping factor for a realistic Sun–Earth system and demonstrate how both the absolute neutrino mass scale and the MOG parameter influence coherence loss. Our results indicate that gravitational lensing in alternative gravity theories can leave observable imprints on neutrino oscillation patterns, offering a novel probe of both neutrino properties and modifications of General Relativity.
