Quantum field theory of massive chiral fields
Massimo Blasone, Petr Jizba, Luca Smaldone
We present a quantum-field-theoretic treatment of massive chiral fields in which particles possess well-defined chirality and helicity. This framework reproduces the chiral oscilla…
Perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of neutrino oscillations in quantum field theory
Massimo Blasone, Luca Smaldone
In this work, we present a comprehensive and pedagogical review of two quantum field theoretical approaches to neutrino flavor mixing and oscillations: the non-perturbative flavor…
Chiral oscillations in finite time quantum field theory
Massimo Blasone, Francesco Giacosa, Luca Smaldone +1
We demonstrate how chiral oscillations of a massive Dirac field can be described within quantum field theory using a finite-time interaction picture approach, where the mass term i…
Flavor neutrinos as unstable particles: an interaction picture view
M. Blasone, F. Giacosa, L. Smaldone +1
This paper reviews the similarities in the behavior of unstable particles and oscillating neutrinos using perturbation theory within the interaction picture of quantum field theory…
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…
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…
Flavor neutrino states for pedestrians
Massimo Blasone, Luca Smaldone, Giuseppe Vitiello
In this paper we discuss the ontology of flavor states of oscillating neutrinos. While an heuristic approach to this subject, experimentally successful in the high energy regime, i…
