abstract
We explore how well reactor antineutrino experiments can constrain or measure the loss of quantum coherence in neutrino oscillations. We assume that decoherence effects are encoded in the size of the neutrino wave-packet, $\sigma$. We find that the current experiments Daya Bay and the Reactor Experiment for Neutrino Oscillation (RENO) already constrain $\sigma>1.0\times 10^{-4}$ nm and estimate that future data from the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) would be sensitive to $\sigma<2.1\times 10^{-3}$ nm. If the effects of loss of coherence are within the sensitivity of JUNO, we expect $\sigma$ to be measured with good precision. The discovery of nontrivial decoherence effects in JUNO would indicate that our understanding of the coherence of neutrino sources is, at least, incomplete.

Real and Virtual Propagation in Neutrino Oscillations
In Gaussian wave-packet QFT, flavor oscillations switch on only after a propagation-time threshold set by the wave-packet energy uncertainty and the intermediate particle's decay width; below it the neutrino is purely...

Impact of different neutrino decoherence formalisms at the future long-baseline Experiments
Two bases for the neutrino decoherence matrix yield identical vacuum probabilities at small Gamma but diverge at large Gamma or with strong matter effects, altering chi-squared sensitivities at DUNE and P2SO.
