Abstract
Neutrino flavour oscillations are analyzed in a model in which particles ex perience an effective Schwarzschild geometry modified by maximal accelerati on corrections. These imply a quantum violation of the equivalence principl e. The corresponding shifts in the phase of the neutrino mass eigenstates a re calculated and discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
