Fock States of Flavor Neutrinos are Unphysical
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that it is possible to construct an infinity of Fock spaces of flavor neutrinos depending on arbitrary unphysical mass parameters, in agreement with the theory of Blasone and Vitiello in the version proposed by Fujii, Habe and Yabuki. However, we show that these flavor neutrino Fock spaces are clever mathematical constructs without physical relevance, because the hypothesis that neutrinos produced or detected in charged-current weak interaction processes are described by flavor neutrino Fock states implies that measurable quantities depend on the arbitrary unphysical flavor neutrino mass parameters.

Fock States of Flavor Neutrinos
It is shown that it is possible to construct an infinity of Fock spaces of flavor neutrinos depending on arbitrary unphysical mass parameters, in agreement with the theory of Blasone and Vitiello in the version proposed by Fujii, Habe and Yabuki. However, we show by reductio ad absurdum that these flavor neutrino Fock spaces are clever mathematical constructs without physical relevance, because...
متن کاملA Paradox on Quantum Field Theory of Neutrino Mixing and Oscillations
Neutrino mixing and oscillations in quantum field theory framework had been studied before, which shew that the Fock space of flavor states is unitarily inequivalent to that of mass states (inequivalent vacua model). A paradox emerges when we use these neutrino weak states to calculate the amplitude of W boson decay. The branching ratio of W → e + νμ to W → e + νe is approximately at the order ...
متن کاملFlavor Asymmetry of Nucleon Sea from Detailed Balance∗
In this talk, we introduce a new work on the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea as arising from the pure statistical effect without any parameter. It will be shown that we can reproduce the flavor asymmetry d̄− ū ≈ 0.123, which is in surprisingly agreement with the experimental observation, by just using the principle of detailed balance. We take the proton as an ensemble of a complete set of q...
متن کاملT-matrix calculations for the electron-impact ionization of hydrogen in the Temkin-Poet model
An eigenchannel R-matrix expansion of the T matrix is used to calculate total integrated and ejected energy differential cross sections for the electron-impact ionization of hydrogen in the Temkin-Poet model. In previous close-coupling results, unphysical oscillations in the total ionization cross section could be averaged over due to the smooth dependence of the cross section on the incident e...
متن کاملEnergy and Momentum of Oscillating Neutrinos
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 also shown that for each process in which neutrinos are produced there is either a Lorentz frame in which all massive neutrinos have the same energy or a Lorentz frame in which all massive neutrinos h...
