On the theory of neutrino mixing and oscillations

Abstract

A brief review of the status of neutrino oscillations is given. The phenomenology of neutrino mixing and the standard seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation is discussed. Different approaches to neutrino oscillations are considered and compared. The role of the Heisenberg space-momentum uncertainty relation and the Mandelstam-Tamm time-energy uncertainty relation in neutrino oscillations is discussed in some detail.
