Chiral and flavor oscillations in a hyperentangled neutrino state
Victor Bittencourt, Massimo Blasone, Gennaro Zanfardino
In addition to flavor oscillations, Dirac neutrinos also undergo the so-called chiral oscillations, a consequence of the free-particle dynamics under the Dirac equation. Such a tra…
