Theory of Neutrino Oscillations

Abstract

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 conclude that the standard expression for the probability of neutrino oscillations is robust.
