Hi Axil, I thought that it's only been relatively recently that a mathematical mechanism for treating the flavour changing oscillations has been added to the standard model (in the form of a new CKM-like flavour changing matrix). Have there been observations that the Mikheyev–Smirnov–Wolfenstein effect can modify the oscillations, or is that conjecture on your part? Can you share the mathematics that show this "warp speed" during a flavour change? How are you modelling the flavour change? As far as I understand, there is no known flavour changing process - we just have to treat them as ad-mixtures of the fundamental neutrinos, and give up treating them individually. I've not been following developments as closely over the last few years. What have I missed? Thanks, Joe
