No Effect of Majorana Phases in Neutrino Oscillations

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-05-07 v2

Abstract

It is shown that the Majorana phases of the neutrino mixing matrix cannot have any effect in neutrino oscillations, contrary to the argument presented in arXiv:0912.5266. It is also shown that in a charged-current weak interaction process it is not possible to create a coherent superposition of different flavor neutrinos which is independent of the associated charged leptons.
