Decay Oscillations in Electron Capture and the Neutrino Mass Difference

Nuclear Theory 2015-04-16 v1

Abstract

Quantum mechanical theory disallows the model that has been used to infer the neutrino mass difference from the reported "GSI oscillations" in the rates of decay of hydrogen-like ions by electron capture. It has not been proved that the existence of mass-difference-dependent oscillations conflicts with quantum mechanics but no consistent quantum mechanical model has been shown to predict them.
