Description
Neutrino oscillations are studied within the framework of extended theories of gravity. The oscillation probability formula is derived for propagation in static spacetimes described by actions quadratic in the curvature invariants. Calculations are carried for both vacuum and matter oscillations, showing that the neutrino phase might be sensitive to the strong equivalence principle violation. The possibility to constrain extended theories is finally discussed.
