Overall feature of CP dependence for neutrino oscillation probability in arbitrary matter profile

AbstractWe study the CP dependence of neutrino oscillation probability for all channels in arbitrary matter profile within three generations. We show that an oscillation probability for νe→νμ can be written in the form P(νe→νμ)=Aeμcosδ+Beμsinδ+Ceμ without any approximation using the CP phase δ. This result holds not only in constant matter but also in arbitrary matter. Another probability for νμ→ντ can be written in the form P(νμ→ντ)=Aμτcosδ+Bμτsinδ+Cμτ+Dμτcos2δ+Eμτsin2δ. The term which is proportional to sin2δ disappear, namely Eμτ=0, in symmetric matter. It means that the probability reduces to the same form as in constant matter. As for other channels, probabilities in arbitrary matter are at most the quadratic polynomials of sinδ and cosδ as in the above two channels. In symmetric matter, the oscillation probability for each channel reduces to the same form with respect to δ as that in constant matter
