Transmission of neutrinos through matterL WOLFENSTEINCarnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA Abstract Neutrinos travel through matter with negligible absorption except in very extreme situations. However, the index of refraction of neutrinos can play an important role in the oscillation of one type of neutrino to another when passing through matter.
