A wrong derivation of the phase of a propagating massive particle which has repeatedly appeared during the last years has the advantage of leading once more to the important question of the phase difference between the mass eigenstates constitutive of an oscillating neutrino described in the plane wave formalism. Serious errors of principle are pointed at in a number of simple calculations and the oscillation length is derived in a way which allows to show that the standard result can suffer but minute variations in the ultrarelativistic case.

  1. On chirality and chiral neutrino oscillations

    hep-ph 2025-05 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Chiral neutrino oscillations in vacuum do not happen; chirality belongs to spinors and fields, not to quantum states, so purported oscillations come from mixing up QFT concepts.
