We consider the impact of neutral-current (NC) non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) on the determination of the neutrino mass ordering. We show that in presence of NSI there is an exact degeneracy which makes it impossible to determine…
It is tempting to try to explain the reported time-modulated decay rate in the GSI experiment by arguing that the matrix element for decay at any time results in an interference between two slightly different momentum values in the parent…

Oscillations in the electron-capture (EC) decay rate observed in storage-ring experiments are reconsidered in connection with the neutrino mass difference. Taking into account that - according to Relativity Theory - time is slowed down in…
Homestake, Gallex and GNO data reveal variability of the solar neutrino flux. Kamiokande records for 1996-2001 reveal oscillations at 9.43 and 12.6 yr$^{-1}$, well within a range (6-16 yr$^{-1}$) that, according to helioseismology, may be…
