Analytic treatment of solar neutrion oscillations

Recently, Bruggen et al. have derived analytic expressions for the electron neutrino survival probability for neutrinos undergoing matter-enhanced oscillations as they escape from the sun. These are derived using Landau-Zener oscillation formulas for nonadiabatic level crossings. For the solar density, they assume either a linear or an exponential form. However, the solar density is only roughly exponential. Using a uniform approximation, we generalize this method to an arbitrary monotonic solar density.
