I am reading Akhmedovs 2000 paper on parametric resonance, and I cannot figure out the math of this particular passage:

The difference of the neutrino eigenenergies in a matter of density $N_i$ is $2\omega_i$, so that the oscillations phases aquired over the intervals $T_1$ and $T_2$ are

$2\phi_1=2\omega_1T_1$, $2\phi_2=2\omega_2T_2$

My question here is: What is the relevant formula that links eigenenergy to phase? And angular velocity to eigenenergy?

How familiar are you with the mathematics of neutrino oscillations in the first place? Do you understand how it all works in free space? – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Mar 18 '13 at 15:44
Some of the basic math of vacuum oscillation is reproduced in my answer to "How can neutrinos oscillate though the lepton flavors have differing masses?". – dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Mar 18 '13 at 17:24
