Flavor Neutrinos States
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that a flavor neutrino state that describes a neutrino produced or detected in a charged-current weak interaction process depends on the process under consideration and is appropriate for the description of neutrino oscillations as well as for the calculation of neutrino production or detection rates. Hence, we have a consistent framework for the description of neutrino oscillations and interactions. PACS Numbers: 14.60.Pq, 14.60.Lm

Fock States of Flavor Neutrinos are Unphysical
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 neu...

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...
متن کاملLepton Numbers in the framework of Neutrino Mixing
In this short review we discuss the notion of lepton numbers. The strong evidence in favor of neutrino oscillations obtained recently in the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino experiment and in solar neutrino experiments imply that the law of conservation of family lepton numbers Le, Lμ and Lτ is strongly violated. We consider the states of flavor neutrinos νe, νμ and ντ and we discuss the e...
متن کاملWhy Are Neutrinos Light? – An Alternative
We review the recent proposal that neutrinos are light because their masses are proportional to a low scale, f , of lepton flavor symmetry breaking. This mechanism is testable because the resulting pseudo-Goldstone bosons, of mass mG, couple strongly with the neutrinos, affecting the acoustic oscillations during the eV era of the early universe that generate the peaks in the CMB radiation. Char...
متن کاملThe Very Low Energy Solar Flux of Electron and Heavy-Flavor Neutrinos and Antineutrinos
We calculate the thermal flux of low-energy solar neutrinos and antineutrinos of all flavors arising from a variety of neutrino pair processes: Compton production (including plasmon-pole diagrams), neutral current decay of thermally populated nuclear states, plasmon decay, and electron transitions from free to atomic bound states. The resulting flux density per flavor is significant (108 − 109/...
