Title in Portuguese
Desenvolvimento de formalismo para evolução de neutrinos no universo primordial
Keywords in Portuguese
Física
Mecânica quântica
Abstract in Portuguese
Neste trabalho, estudamos alguns aspectos da física de neutrinos, usando os formalismos de vetores de estado e de matriz densidade, com o objetivo de entender a evolução dos neutrinos no universo primordial. No primeiro formalismo, analisamos o fenômeno de oscilação de neutrinos no vácuo, o potencial induzido pela matéria e sua expressão como um índice de refração, e a influência de efeitos de temperatura finita em tal índice. Iniciamos o segundo formalismo com o estudo de sistemas oscilantes de dois níveis sujeitos à colisões com o meio. Deduzimos uma equação de evolução da matriz densidade que descreve um sistema de neutrinos no universo primordial. Para tanto, usamos uma abordagem simplificada e outra baseada em primeiros princípios.

Abstract in English
In this work, we studied some aspects of neutrino physics, using the state vector and density matrix formalisms, with the goal of understanding the neutrino evolution in the primordial universe. In the rst approach, we analysed the phenomenum of neutrino oscillation in vacuum, the induced matter potential and its expression as a refraction index, and the influence of finite temperature efects in such index. We began the second formalism with the study of oscillating two levels systems subject to collisions with media. We derived an evolution equation for the density matrix that describes a neutrino system in the primordial universe. To that end, we used one simplified approach and another based on first principles.
