We critically analyze the claims with regard to the relevance of topological phases in the physics of neutrino oscillation made in a recent paper [Phys. Rev. D 79, 096013 (2009)] and point out some inappropriate exaggerations and misleading…
We show that the phase appearing in neutrino flavor oscillation formulae has a geometric and topological contribution. We identify a topological phase appearing in the two flavor neutrino oscillation formula using Pancharatnam's…
In vacuum or constant density matter, the two flavor neutrino oscillation formulae are insensitive to the presence of CP violating phases owing to the fact that the CP phase can be gauged away. In sharp contrast to the above case, we show…
The geometrical representation of two-flavor neutrino oscillation represents the neutrino's flavor eigenstate as a magnetic moment-like vector that evolves around a magnetic field-like vector that depicts the Hamiltonian of the system. In…
This pedagogical overview will cover the current status of neutrino physics from an experimentalist's point of view, focusing primarily on oscillation studies. The evidence for neutrino oscillations will be presented, along with the…
We provide explicit formulae for the noncyclic geometric phases or Pancharatnam phases of neutrino oscillations. Since Pancharatnam phase is a generalization of the Berry phase, our results generalize the previous findings for Berry phase…
We present a derivation of the flavor neutrino states which describe neutrinos produced or detected in charged-current weak-interaction processes, including those operating in neutrino oscillation experiments. We also present a covariant…
Arguments continue to appear in the literature concerning the validity of the standard oscillation formula. We point out some misunderstandings and try to explain in simple terms our viewpoint.
We study the geometric phase for neutrinos at various man-made facilities, such as the reactor and accelerator neutrino experiments. The analysis is done for the three flavor neutrino scenario, in the presence of matter and for general,…
Neutrinos can acquire both dynamic and geometric phases due to the non-trivial mixing between mass and flavour eigenstates. In this article, we derive the general expressions for all plausible gauge invariant diagonal and off-diagonal…
Neutrinos propagating in dense astrophysical environments sustain nonlinear refractive effects due to neutrino-neutrino forward scattering. We study geometric phases in neutrino oscillations that arise out of cyclic evolution of the…
Recently, our work regarding the definition of oscillating neutrino states in Eur. Phys. J. C 80: 68 (2020), arxiv:1902.01232 [hep-ph] has been commented upon in arXiv:2004.04739 [hep-ph]. In this note we show that, contrary to the claim in…
The geometric picture of neutrino oscillations offers a unique way to study the quantum mechanics of this phenomenon. In this picture, the propagation of a neutrino beam is described by a density matrix evolving in a state space with…
In [Phys. Lett. B 780, 216 (2018)], Capolupo et al. calculate the noncyclic geometric phases associated with neutrino flavor transitions in the two-neutrino scenario, and claim that the results depend on the choice of representations of…
The phenomenon of neutrino oscillation has been firmly established: neutrinos change their flavor in their path from their source to observers. This paper is dedicated to the description of experimental results in the oscillation field, of…
We comment on the paper ``Remarks on flavor-neutrino propagators and oscillation formulae'' [Phys. Rev. D64, 013011 (2001)]. We show that the conclusions presented in that paper do not apply to the exact field theoretical oscillation…
By resorting to recent results on the Quantum Field Theory of mixed particles, we discuss some aspects of three flavor neutrino mixing. Particular emphasis is given to the related algebraic structures and their deformation in the presence…
In this Letter, using von Neumann entropy we examine the entanglement entropy for the neutrino oscillations in the presence of the subsequent phase shift. We numerically show that the entanglement entropy for the subsequent periods of the…
We study neutrino oscillations within the framework of extended theories of gravity. Based on the covariant reformulation of Pontecorvo formalism, we evaluate the oscillation probability of neutrinos propagating in static spacetimes…
As pointed out previously, some of the hypotheses used in the standard discussion of the quantum mechanics neutrino oscillations, recently summarised in the paper `Theory of Neutrino Oscillations' by C.Giunti, lack any physical foundation…
