Phys. Rev. D 17, 2369–2374 (1978)Neutrino oscillations in matterReceived 6 October 1977; revised 5 December 1977; published in the issue dated 1 May 1978 The effect of coherent forward scattering must be taken into account when considering the oscillations of neutrinos traveling through matter. In particular, for the case of massless neutrinos for which vacuum oscillations cannot occur, oscillations can occur in matter if the neutral current has an off-diagonal piece connecting different neutrino types. Applications discussed are solar neutrinos and a proposed experiment involving transmission of neutrinos through 1000 km of rock. © 1978 The American Physical Society URL:
