Scientific paper

We show Dirac and Majorana neutrino wave packets propagating in a Lense-Thirring background can be identified via a spin-gravity interaction described by a gravitational phase. From a perturbation Hamiltonian due to spin-gravity coupling and time-independent perturbation theory, we note that the matrix elements for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos fundamentally differ and lead to observationally relevant corrections to the neutrino oscillation length for a two-flavour system, as shown for SN1987A.
