According to symmetrization postulate for a system of identical particles, wave function has to be completely symmetric or completely anti-symmetric. In this paper we want to mathematically justify this postulate ignoring the spin part of…
We consider neutrino flavour and spin oscillations in a magnetic field using formalism of wave packets. Decoherence effects due to neutrino wave packets separation are studied. The considered effects are especially important for describing…
In most of the proposals for new physics beyond the standard model, neutrinos have new interactions and some of them have phenomenological consequences that, although at present they may seem purely academic, probably will have to be taken…
The solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies constitute the only solid and most remarkable evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, indicating that the lepton mixing matrix is fundamentally distinct from that describing the quarks.…
