On the Asymptotic Behavior of Neutrinos

Mixing transformations in QFT are non-trivial, since they are connected with the issue of the unitary inequivalence between Fock space for definite flavor fields and Fock space for definite mass fields. This poses the problem of selecting the right (i.e., physical) representation for asymptotic mixed fields. Here, we approach to the study of this inequivalence in the context of mixing of neutrinos. As a test-bench for our investigation, we consider the weak decay of a uniformly accelerated proton within the framework of the minimally extended SM. By relying on some core principles and predictions of the theory, such as the general covariance, the conservation of the family lepton numbers in the tree-level interaction vertices and the CP-symmetry violating effects in neutrino oscillations, we conclude that the only way to keep the formalism internally consistent is by resorting to the flavor representation.
