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.

Do non-relativistic neutrinos oscillate?
A bstractWe study the question of whether oscillations between non-relativistic neutrinos or between relativistic and non-relativistic neutrinos are possible. The issues of neutrino production andExpand

Quantum mechanics aspects and subtleties of neutrino oscillations
Neutrino oscillations appear to be a simple quantum mechanical phenomenon. However, a closer look at them reveals a number of subtle points and apparent paradoxes. Some of the basic issues of theExpand

Heavy neutrino–antineutrino oscillations can appear in mechanisms of low-scale neutrino mass generation, where pairs of heavy neutrinos have almost degenerate masses. We discuss the case where theExpand
