Reply on ``Comment on neutrino-mixing interpretation of the GSI time anomaly''by C. Giunti, arXiv:0801.4639 [nucl-th]

TL;DR

This paper defends the interpretation that neutrino-flavour mixing explains the observed periodic interference in electron capture decay rates of specific ions, responding critically to Giunti's comments.

Contribution

It provides a detailed rebuttal supporting the neutrino-flavour mixing explanation for the GSI time anomaly, clarifying previous theoretical misunderstandings.

Findings

Confirmation of neutrino-flavour mixing as explanation for decay rate oscillations

Critical analysis of Giunti's comments on the interpretation

Justification of the interference term in experimental data

Abstract

Here we reply critically to the comments by Giunti (arXiv:0801.4639 [nucl-th]) and justify our explanation of the experimentally observed periodic interference term in the rate of the K-shell electron capture decay of the H-like ions 140Pr58+ and 142Pm60+ as a neutrino-flavour mixing.
