Abstract

Three flavoured neutrino oscillations are investigated in the light of the Leggett-Garg inequality. The outline of an experimental proposal is suggested whereby the findings of this investigation may be verified. The results obtained are: (a) The maximum violation of the Leggett Garg Inequality (LGI) is 2.170362.17036 for neutrino path length L1=140.15L_{1}=140.15 Km and ΔL=1255.7\Delta L=1255.7 Km.(b) Presence of the mixing angle θ13\theta_{13} enhances the maximum violation of LGI by 4.6%4.6\%.(c) The currently known mass hierarchy parameter α=0.0305\alpha = 0.0305 increases the the maximum violation of LGI by 3.7%3.7\%. (d)Presence of CP violating phase parameter enhances the maximum violation of LGI by 0.24%0.24\%, thus providing an \textit{alternative indicator of CP violation} in 3-flavoured neutrino oscillations.
