* ABSTRACT | |||||||
We establish the equation of motion of pseudoscalar particles coupled to an electromagnetic field in a classical gravitational background through the use of conformal time and flat geometry. We show that the expansion of the universe can lead to larger mixing than in a stationary universe. We also show that for a broad range of parameters, one can obtain resonance in mixing, i.e, a region where the mixing becomes maximum. |
