Neutrino propagate over macroscopic distance (sometimes astronomical) it is unnatural to consider them as virtual
Quantum-field-theoretical model of neutrino oscillation in which the propagating neutrino is described by a wave packet state determined by the production process
C.Giunti JHEP 0211(2002)017
For the process:
It was proposed:
And finally the neutrino states are given by:
![Page 6: Neutrino states in oscillation experiments – are they pure or mix d ?](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062721/56813797550346895d9f3bf3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
This approach is not fully correct:
1) Particles which take part in the production and detection processes have spins, we don’t known what to do with them,
2) All time the neutrino state is pure quantum mechanical states, even for non relativistic neutrinos,
3) We don’t know how to incorporate physics beyond tha SM.
We propose to use density matrix approach, then
1. We know what to do with any properties of accompanied particles,
2. We can check, when neutrino state is pure, and when it is mixed,
3. Any New Physic (NP) in neutrino interaction can be easy considered,
4. In very natural way we are able to take into account neutrino space localization (wave packet approach) ,
5. We exactly know, when the formula for neutrino transition factorize,
6. For relativistic neutrino and their SM Left-Handed interaction, we reproduce the standard formulae

2. DENSITY MATRIX FOR PRODUCED NEUTRINOS
We consider production neutrino process:
For each particle (without neutrino) we introduce wave packet (given by experimental condition):

In momentum representation:
Final results don’t depend on the shape of wave pockets - we use Gauss distribution.
In coordinate space:

We calculate:
Let us assume the effective Hamiltonian:
Then:
First we integrate over particle momenta:

First we integrate over particle momenta, using:
We obtain:

If we introduce:

Let us assume now that initial particles are not polarized, we can define density matrix for final neutrino:

4. CONCLUSIONS
1. States are not pure near threshold, pure states appear for relativistic neutrinos and charge current left-handed production and detection mechanism,
2. For searching a physics beyond the SM, neutrino production and detection states are not necessary pure,
3. States are mixed, if right-handed (RH), scalar-LH-RH or pseudoscalar-RH – LH interactions are present,
4. Wigner rotation for helicity neutrino states are completely negligible in practice,
5. Only for relativistic neutrinos produced and detected by the LH mechanism the oscillation rates factorize.
