Landau-Zener treatments of solar neutrino oscillations

The authors present a simple derivation of Landau-Zener formulae for nonadiabatic level crossings for linear and exponential density profiles. The derivation depends on a single assumption that applies somewhat differently to the exponential and linear cases, providing some insight into the relationship between the respective formulae. They note that one exponential Landau-Zener formula in common use is only approximately correct. Comparisons with exact calculations are made.
