Neutrino oscillations in the interaction picture
Massimo Blasone, Francesco Giacosa, Luca Smaldone +1
We study the mixing of different kind of fields (scalar in 0+1D, scalar in 3+1D, fermion in 3+1D) treating the mixing term as an interaction. To this aim, we employ the usual pertu…
Chiral oscillations in the non-relativistic regime
Victor A. S. V. Bittencourt, Alex E. Bernardini, Massimo Blasone
Massive Dirac particles are a superposition of left and right chiral components. Since chirality is not a conserved quantity, the free Dirac Hamiltonian evolution induces chiral qu…
A note on oscillating neutrino states in quantum field theory
Massimo Blasone, Luca Smaldone
In a recent paper (Eur. Phys. J. C 80: 68 (2020).), a definition of oscillating neutrino states in quantum field theory was proposed. We show that such definition can be derived in…
On the beta-decay of the accelerated proton and neutrino oscillations: a three-flavor description with CP violation
Massimo Blasone, Gaetano Lambiase, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano +1
The (inverse) beta-decay of uniformly accelerated protons (p -> n + e+ + ne) has been recently analyzed in the context of two-flavor neutrino mixing and oscillations. It has been s…
Non-relativistic neutrinos and the weak equivalence principle apparent violation
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Gaetano Lambiase +1
We study the non-relativistic limit of Dirac equation for mixed neutrinos. We demonstrate that such a procedure inevitably leads to a redefinition of the inertial mass. This happen…
Neutrino oscillations in accelerated frames
Massimo Blasone, Gaetano Lambiase, Giuseppe Gaetano Luciano +1
We discuss neutrino oscillations in vacuum from the point of view of a uniformly accelerated observer. A covariant definition of quantum phase is introduced with the aim of general…
