We consider transitions between neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in laboratory experiments in five scenarios, including both helicity flipping and preserving cases.
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…
