A new model for neutrino oscillations is introduced, in which mass-like behavior is seen at high energies, but various behavior can be predicted at low energies. The model employs no neutrino masses, but instead relies on the…
Neutrino oscillations is a phenomenon which is characterized by a finite oscillation time (length). For such phenomena time-energy uncertainty relation is valid. This means that energy uncertainty is needed for oscillations to occur. We…
The Standard Model has been incredibly successful in predicting the outcome of almost all the experiments done up so far. In it, neutrinos are mass-less. However, in recent years we have accumulated evidence pointing to tiny masses for the…
A description of neutrino oscillation phenomena is presented which is based on relativistic quantum mechanics and includes both entangled state and source dependent aspects, unlike both of the conventional approaches which use either equal…
The discovery of neutrino oscillations has shown that neutrinos, in contradiction to a prediction of the minimal standard model, have mass. Oscillations do not yield a value for the mass, but do set a lower limit of 0.02 eV on the average…
It is shown that the model of vacuum flavour oscillations is in disagreement with quantum mechanics theorems and postulates. Features of the model are analyzed. It is noted that apart from the number of mixed mass states neutrino…
Neutral kaons, and probably also neutrinos, exhibit oscillations between flavor eigenstates, as a result of being produced in a superposition of mass eigenstates. Several recent papers have addressed the question of the energies and momenta…
These notes present a critique of the standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation framwork. The design proposal of the MINOS at Fermilab based on a two mass eigenstate framework may require serious reconsideration if there is strong mixing…
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…
Neutrino oscillation phenomenon is a definite evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) and high precision measurement of neutrino properties will certainly give us clue about what lies beyond the SM. In particular, precise…
Neutrino flavour oscillations in a nonuniformly moving matter are considered. The neutrino oscillation resonance condition in presence of matter, in the most general case when matter is moving with acceleration, is derived for the first…
Neutrino decay in vacuum has often been considered as an alternative to neutrino oscillations. Because non-zero neutrino masses imply the possibility of both neutrino decay and neutrino oscillations, we present a model-independent formal…
Neutrino spin and flavour oscillation in curved spacetime have been studied for the most general static spherically symmetric configuration. Using the symmetry properties we have derived spin oscillation frequency for neutrino moving along…
It is shown that the neutrino and neutral kaon oscillation processes can be consistently described in quantum field theory using only the mass eigenstates of neutrinos and neutral kaons. The distance-dependent and time-dependent parts of…
In the standard model of neutrino oscillations, the neutrino flavor states are mixtures of mass-eigenstates, and the phenomena are well described by the neutrino mixing matrix, i.e., the PMNS matrix. I review the recent progress on…
In this article, we investigate the entanglement entropy for neutrino oscillations when neutrino propogate in matter, utilising Von Neumann entropy. We discuss two flavour neutrino oscillation in vaccum and matter. We demonstrate…
Current evidence for neutrino oscillation is reviewed, some areas for closer investigation are suggested, and a plausible future experimental program is summarized.
We further develop a recently proposed new approach to the description of the relativistic neutrino flavour $\nu_e^L \leftrightarrow \nu_{\mu}^L$, spin $\nu_e^L \leftrightarrow \nu_{e}^R$ and spin-flavour $\nu_e^L \leftrightarrow…
Many experiments are currently looking for evidence of neutrino mass in the form of neutrino oscillations. Oscillation probabilities are non-linear functions of the neutrino mixing matrix elements, so most comparisons of data to theory are…
We study neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter using field theoretical methods and wave-packets. In particular, we calculate the neutrino propagator in the presence of matter with constant density for the case of two flavors,…
