DOI 10.1088/1475-7516/2025/02/070
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract We consider gravitational lensing of neutrinos in a black hole geometry that parametrizes departures from the Schwarzschild spacetime in the weak-field limit with plane-wave approximation. We use the Rezzolla-Zhidenko parametrization and apply the analysis to the effects of spatial curvature deviations from GR to a hypothetical system with a central object of mass of the order of a solar mass and a detector located at an Earth-like distance from the source. We find that the deformation parameters of the metric can have significant impact on the oscillation probabilities of the neutrinos. We also investigate the role of decoherence on flavor oscillations of the lensed neutrinos and show that the parameters of the metric do not have significant effect on the decoherence length.
