In this work, first of all, we analyze a number of hidden aspects of the concept of particle oscillations. The key element of this concept, which do not comply with the principle of least action, is the notion of a mixture of particles,…
A number of characteristics of the new fundamental interaction are described. The interaction is carried by a massless pseudoscalar boson and extends to at least the electron neutrino, proton, and neutron. A substantiation of the existence…
A new concept is proposed to solve the solar neutrino problem, that is based on a hypothesis about the existence of a new interaction of electron neutrinos with nucleons mediated by massless pseudoscalar bosons. At every collision of a…
A new concept is proposed to solve the solar neutrino problem, that is based on a hypothesis about the existence of semi-weak interaction of electron neutrinos with nucleons mediated by massless pseudoscalar bosons. Owing to about 10…
This letter proposes an alternative quantum mechanical picture for the observed phenomena of neutrino oscillations. It is assumed in the following that neutrinos interact via diabatic (or localised) interactions with a new particle field,…
In this note we investigate the impact of new physics in the form of general four-fermion interactions on neutrino oscillation signals. We develop a field theoretic description of the overall oscillation process which includes the…
Neutrinos in the Standard Model of particle physics are massless, neutral fermions that seemingly do little more than conserve 4-momentum, angular momentum, lepton number, and lepton flavour in weak interactions. In the last decade…
We argue that a detailed analysis of semileptonic decays can test the possibility of a massive neutrino. The key observable, related to the forward-backward asymmetry, is exactly zero for a massless neutrino but becomes non-zero if the…
It is shown that neutrino oscillation and Majorana type neutrino are not compatible with Special Theory of Relativity. Instead of the Majorana type neutrino, traditional neutrino(no rest mass) is considered with additional assumptions that…
Most of the neutrino oscillation results can be explained by the three-neutrino paradigm. However several anomalies in short baseline oscillation data could be interpreted by invoking a hypothetical fourth neutrino, separated from the three…
Neutrinos, and primarily neutrino oscillations, have undoubtedly been one of the most exciting topics in the field of high-energy physics over the past few years. The existence of neutrino oscillations would require an extension of the…
Despite the theory of neutrino oscillations being rather old, some of its basic issues are still being debated in the literature. We discuss, in the framework of the wave packet approach, a number of such issues, including the relevance of…
This report provides an alternative to the Standard Model of particle physics. The model described here is based on results from Quantum Field Mechanics, according to which all fundamental particles and interactions originate from the…
The treatment of nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus interactions is one of the main sources of systematic uncertainty for the analysis and interpretation of data of neutrino oscillation experiments. Neutrinos interact with nuclei via…
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…
The presence of background classical sources affects a quantum field theory significantly in different ways. Neutrino oscillation is a phenomenon that confirms that neutrinos are massive fermions in nature, a celebrated result in modern…
New neutrino states \nu_b, sterile under the Standard Model interactions, can be coupled to baryons via the isoscalar vector currents that are much stronger than the Standard Model weak interactions. If some fraction of solar neutrinos…
Although the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations is confirmed in many experiments, the theoretical explanation of this phenomenon in the literature is essentially model dependent and is not based on rigorous physical principles. We propose…
