Neutrino masses and mixings produce vacuum oscillations, an established quantum mechanical phenomenon. In matter, the Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect, due to neutrino interactions with the background particles, triggers resonant flavor…

We show that, in the relativistic limit, the quantum theory of neutrino oscillations can be described through the theory of weak measurements with pre and post-selection. The weak nature of neutrino detection allows simultaneous…

Neutrino oscillations are a phenomenon that has been observed for over two decades and leads to the conclusion that neutrinos have mass. The Standard Model predicts massless neutrinos, and so neutrinos require physics beyond the Standard…

We review the status of the solutions to neutrino anomalies by flavor-changing as well as flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions. While it is difficult to explain the atmospheric neutrino data the solar neutrino data can be well accounted…

To account for neutrino oscillations, it was postulated that the neutrino has nonvanishing mass and each flavor eigenstate is formed by a quantum superposition of three distinct mass eigenstates, whose probability amplitudes interfere with…

Neutrino oscillations occur only if it is impossible to determine $\nu$ mass by using conservation laws on measurements of nucleon-lepton system absorbing $\nu$. No oscillations if $\nu$ detector is mass spectrometer. Beam is split into…
