Neutrino Oscillations and Energy-Momentum Conservation

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new approach to neutrino oscillations by linking flavor state energy-momentum to missing energy-momentum, ensuring strict conservation and suggesting a way to relate mixing angles to neutrino masses without symmetry assumptions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel framework connecting neutrino flavor states with energy-momentum conservation and offers a potential method to express mixing angles directly in terms of neutrino masses.

Findings

Energy-momentum of flavor states can be identified with missing energy-momentum.

Conservation of energy-momentum can be strictly imposed in neutrino processes.

A plausible condition relates neutrino mixing angles to neutrino masses.

Abstract

It is proposed that the energy-momentum expectation values of flavor states should be identified with the missing energy-momentum of neutrino processes so that the conservation of energy-momentum can be strictly imposed. It is also observed that there is a plausible condition to express neutrino mixing angles in terms of neutrino masses without invoking symmetries.
