Description

We show that Majorana neutrinos convert into antineutrinos in a background of ultralight vector dark matter coupled to lepton number. This effect is suppressed by the small neutrino mass, but the enhancement by long astrophysical baselines can enable future searches for solar and supernova neutrinos to explore uncharted parameter space.
