Role in Neutrino Physics
In the context of neutrino oscillations, $GF$ appears in the effective potential term ($\tilde{V}$) that governs the evolution of neutrino flavors within dense matter, such as inside the Sun/) or a supernova core. This is critical for understanding the MSW effect. The potential term often scales linearly with $GF$:
$$ \tilde{V} \propto GF Ne $$
