Remarks to the Standard Theory of Neutrino Oscillations. Alternative Scheme of Neutrino Oscillations

Abstract

In the standard theory of neutrino oscillations it is supposed that physical observed neutrino states $ν_{e}, ν_μ, ν_τ$ have no definite masses, that they are initially produced as a mixture of the $ν_{1}, ν_{2}, ν_{3}$ neutrino states (are produced as a wave packet), and that neutrino oscillations are the real ones. Then this wave packet must decompose at a definite distance into constituent parts and neutrino oscillations must disappear. It was shown that these suppositions lead to violation of the law of energy and momentum conservation. An alternative scheme of neutrino oscillations obtained within the framework of particle physics has been considered where the above mentioned shortcomings are absent, the oscillations of neutrinos with equal masses are the real ones, and the oscillations of neutrinos with different masses are virtual ones. Expressions for probabilities of neutrino transitions (oscillations) in the alternative (corrected) scheme, are given.
