TL;DR
This paper investigates how the separation of neutrino wave packets in the transverse plane can partially or fully destroy the neutrino oscillation pattern, significantly impacting the interpretation of real oscillation data such as solar neutrinos.
Contribution
It introduces a new effect of wave packet separation in the transverse plane and analyzes its impact on neutrino oscillation observations and properties.
Findings
Wave packet separation can destroy oscillation patterns
The effect is significant for solar neutrino data
It alters the inferred physical properties of neutrinos
Abstract
The new effect of partial and full destruction of the neutrino oscillation pattern due to the neutrino wave packets separation in the transverse plane to the direction of the neutrino propagation is investigated. It is shown that this effect is significant in the real oscillation data, in particular, for the solar neutrinos, and dramatically changes the extracted physical properties of neutrinos.
