In a recent paper [Eur. Phys. J. C80, 68 (2020)], a definition of oscillating neutrino states in quantum field theory was proposed. We show that such definition can be derived as a particular case of the Blasone–Vitiello approach, when mass vacuum is chosen as the physical vacuum. We discuss some problems of such an approach, which appears to be mathematically inconsistent and physically not acceptable.

Abstract

In a recent paper [Eur. Phys. J. C80, 68 (2020)], a definition of oscillating neutrino states in quantum field theory was proposed. We show that such definition can be derived as a particular case of the Blasone–Vitiello approach, when mass vacuum is chosen as the physical vacuum. We discuss some problems of such an approach, which appears to be mathematically inconsistent and physically not acceptable.
