Disentangling neutrino oscillations
Physics Letters B, 2009 The theory underlying neutrino oscillations has been described at length in the literature. The neutrino state produced by a weak decay is usually portrayed as a linear superposition of mass eigenstates with, variously, equal energies or equal momenta. We point out that such a description is incomplete, that in fact, the neutrino is entangled with the ...

Lorentz violation in three-family neutrino oscillation [PDF]
Int.J.Mod.Phys.A24:5861-5876,2009, 2009 We analyze the consequences of Lorentz violation (LV) to three-generation neutrino oscillation in the massless neutrino sector. We present a general formalism of three-family neutrino oscillation with neutrino flavor states being mixing states of energy eigenstates.

A framework for testing leptonic unitarity by neutrino oscillation experiments [PDF]
, 2016 A bstractIf leptonic unitarity is violated by new physics at an energy scale much lower than the electroweak scale, which we call low-scale unitarity violation, it has different characteristic features from those expected in unitarity violation at high ...

Entanglement in neutrino oscillations [PDF]
EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2009 Flavor oscillations in elementary particle physics are related to multi-mode entanglement of single-particle states. We show that mode entanglement can be expressed in terms of flavor transition probabilities, and therefore that single-particle entangled states acquire a precise operational characterization in the context of particle mixing.

Systematic uncertainties in long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiments [PDF]
, 2016 Future neutrino-oscillation experiments are expected to bring definite answers to the questions of neutrino-mass hierarchy and violation of charge-parity symmetry in the lepton sector.

Probing CP violation with non-unitary mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: DUNE as a case study [PDF]
, 2016 When neutrino masses arise from the exchange of neutral heavy leptons, as in most seesaw schemes, the effective lepton mixing matrix N describing neutrino propagation is non-unitary, hence neutrinos are not exactly orthonormal.

Gravity induced neutrino-antineutrino oscillation: CPT and lepton number non-conservation under gravity [PDF]
, 2007 We introduce a new effect in the neutrino oscillation phase which shows the neutrino-antineutrino oscillation is possible under gravity even if the rest masses of the corresponding eigenstates are same.

Measurements of neutrino oscillation in appearance and disappearance channels by the T2K experiment with 6.6E20 protons on target [PDF]
, 2015 We report on measurements of neutrino oscillation using data from the T2K long-baseline neutrino experiment collected between 2010 and 2013. In an analysis of muon neutrino disappearance alone, we find the following estimates and 68% confidence intervals

Teaching neutrino oscillations [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2004 Neutrino oscillations are purely quantum mechanical effects that occur over macroscopic time and distance scales. I present the physics of this phenomenon in words, pictures, and analogies rather than mathematics.
