B-Meson and Neutrino Oscillation: A Unified Treatment
Conference
·
OSTI ID:1029352
We present a unified treatment of the quantum mechanics of B-factory and neutrino oscillation experiments. While our approach obtains the usual phenomenological predictions for these experiments, it does so without having to invoke perplexing Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations or non-intuitive kinematical assumptions. The quantum mechanics of mixing during propagation is at the heart of both B-factory and neutrino oscillation experiments. In this paper, we will treat both these experiments in the same way. Our treatment has several advantages. In dealing with the B-factory experiments, it avoids having to invoke real but nonetheless puzzling Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations. In dealing with neutrino oscillation, our approach avoids the non-intuitive assumption that all the interfering neutrino mass eigenstates in a beam have the same energy.
