Contribution

It introduces a modified scattering theory approach that explicitly incorporates Hamiltonian dynamics for neutrino oscillations, offering a new theoretical perspective.

Findings

Provides a Hamiltonian formulation of neutrino oscillations

Extends Gell-Mann and Goldberger scattering theory

Enhances theoretical understanding of neutrino behavior

Abstract

Scattering theory in the Gell-Mann and Goldberger formulation is slightly extended to render a Hamiltonian quantum mechanical description of the neutrino oscillations.
