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…
We present one point of contact between the standard theory of neutrino oscillations and the alternative one, in which flavor neutrinos are described by states with definite masses. We show that both theories give the same results for…
In the standard theory of neutrino oscillations it is supposed that physical observed neutrino states $\nu_{e}, \nu_{\mu}, \nu_{\tau}$ have no definite masses, that they are initially produced as a mixture of the $\nu_{1}, \nu_{2}, \nu_{3}$…

An interpretation of neutrino oscillations based on a modification of relativistic quantum field theory at low energies, without the need to introduce a neutrino mass, is seen to be compatible with all observations.
The major steps in the development of our knowledge about neutrinos are reviewed. The basics of neutrino oscillation formalism is presented. Neutrino oscillations in the framework of three-neutrino mixing are considered. The evidence for…
We review critically the main assumptions on which the standard theory of neutrino oscillations is based. We show that all assumptions are realistic, except the so-called "equal momentum assumption", which however is irrelevant. We briefly…
