Kostelecky ? mn(oscillations) = mn(kinematics)

  3. Hard vs. soft mn = mstandard + msoft(E,n) In general: medium (environment ) dependent (``soft’’) component mn2 = mstandard 2 + 2VE In matter: Can msoft dominate? mi = m0 tanh (li r(g/cm3)) P. De Holanda li = ( 0, 0.06, 3) m0 = 5 10-2 eV BOREXINO: absence of a significant Day-Night asymmetry for Be-neutrinos G. Bellini, et al 1104.2150 [hep-x] Excludes this possibility

  6. Testing nature of mass New contributions can be identified by measuring the same D m2 and q in experiments with different environment: • in vacuum and in matter • in magnetic fields • at different energies • for neutrinos and antineutrinos LSND, MinoBooNE, MINOS ?
