We study the question of whether oscillations between non-relativistic neutrinos or between relativistic and non-relativistic neutrinos are possible. The issues of neutrino production and propagation coherence and their impact on the above question are discussed in detail. It is demonstrated that no neutrino oscillations can occur when neutrinos that are non-relativistic in the laboratory frame are involved, except in a strongly mass-degenerate case. We also discuss how this analysis depends on the choice of the Lorentz frame. Our results are for the most part in agreement with Hinchliffe's rule.

  1. Real and Virtual Propagation in Neutrino Oscillations

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

  2. Simulations of the Sterile Neutrino Oscillations with a Crossing-Width Term

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-step diagonalization plus a dummy-particle trick lets standard event generators simulate GeV-scale sterile neutrino oscillations with crossing-width terms, and a QFT derivation gives displaced-vertex distances.
