Wave packet approach to quantum correlations in neutrino oscillations

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract Quantum correlations provide a fertile testing ground for investigating fundamental aspects of quantum physics in various systems, especially the case relativistic (elementary) particle systems as neutrinos. In recent paper, Ming et al. (Eur Phys J C 80:275, 2020), connection with results Daya-Bay and MINOS experiments, have studied quantumness neutrino oscillations framework plane-wave approximation. We extend their treatment by adopting wave packet approach that accounts effects due to localization decoherence. This leads better agreement experimental results, particular experiment.

Coherence of neutrino oscillations in the wave packet approach

The temporal and spatial coherence widths of the microscopic process by which a neutrino is detected are incorporated in the quantum mechanical wave packet treatment of neutrino oscillations, confirming the observation of Kiers, Nussinov and Weiss that an accurate measurement of the energies of the particles participating in the detection process can increase the coherence length. However, the ...

Correlated Wave Packet treatment of Neutrino and Neutral Meson Oscillations

A quantumwave packet treatment of neutrino and neutral K and B meson oscillations is presented which incorporates the recoil particle in the production process, and includes the e ect of the localization and lifetime of the source assumed to be a resonance or unstable particle. This approach removes the ambiguities in the conventional single particle treatment of these oscillations, and elucida...

Neutrino wave packet propagation in gravitational fields

We discuss the propagation of neutrino wave packets in a Lense-Thirring spacetime using a gravitational phase approach. We show that the neutrino oscillation length is altered by gravitational corrections and that neutrinos are subject to helicity flip induced by stellar rotation. For the case of a rapidly rotating neutron star, we show that absolute neutrino masses can be derived, in principle...

Coherence and Wave Packets in Neutrino Oscillations

General arguments in favor of the necessity of a wave packet description of neutrino oscillations are presented, drawing from analogies with other wave phenomena. We present a wave packet description of neutrino oscillations in stationary beams using the density matrix formalism. Recent claims of the necessity of an equal energy of different massive neutrinos are refuted.

Quantum Mechanics of Neutrino Oscillations

Subtle problems in the theory of neutrino oscillations in vacuum are discussed [1]. It is shown that Lorentz invariance implies that in general flavor neutrinos in oscillation experiments are superpositions of massive neutrinos with different energies and different momenta. It is argued that a wave packet description of massive neutrinos is necessary in order to understand the physics of neutri...
