Neutrino Flavor Transformation
******************************
* `Duan 2010 "Collective Neutrino Oscillations" <https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.nucl.012809.104524>`_: This paper is too old to contain modern topics like the fast flavor instability, matter-neutrino resonance, and collisional instabilities, but the introduction of the basics (especially up to Section 2.2) is great.
* `Chakraborty+ 2016 <https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1475-7516/2016/03/042>`_: Great pedagogical approach to linear stability analysis with the FFI for simple systems.
* `Richers+ 2021 "Particle-in-cell simulation of the neutrino fast flavor instability" <https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.103.083013>`_: Most complete description of the particle-in-cell method for flavor transformation.
* `Capozzi & Saviano 2022 "Neutrino Flavor Conversions in High-Density Astrophysical and Cosmological Environments" <https://www.mdpi.com/2218-1997/8/2/94>`_: Very high-level and brief overview of neutrinos in many aspects of astrophysics.
* `Volpe 2023 "Neutrinos from dense: flavor mechanisms, theoretical approaches, observations, new directions" <http://arxiv.org/abs/2301.11814>`_: Much lengthier review of neutrino flavor transformation with more concrete details.
* `Patwardhan+ 2023 "Many-body collective neutrino oscillations: recent developments" <http://arxiv.org/abs/2301.00342>`_: Many-body neutrino physics.
