Solar neutrino oscillations in the quasi-vacuum regime

Motivated by recent experimental data, we study solar neutrino oscillations in the range δm²/E ε [10⁻¹⁰, 10⁻⁷] eV²/MeV. In this range vacuum oscillations become increasingly affected by (solar and terrestrial) matter effects for increasing δm², smoothly reaching the MSW regime. A numerical study of matter effects in such “quasi-vacuum” regime is performed. The results are applied to the analysis of the recent solar neutrino phenomenology.
