Abstract

The question of whether charged leptons oscillate is discussed in detail, with a special emphasis on the coherence properties of the charged lepton states created via weak interactions. This analysis allows one to clarify also an important issue of the theory of neutrino oscillations.

• We have observed electron neutrinos oscillating into mu and tau neutrinos. But could we ever observe electrons themselves oscillating into muons or tauons? The short answer is “probably not”, for reas [bsky, 17 points, 2 comments]
