My QFT professor when we got to the unholy mess that is the neutrino sector
Ole
There are 3 kinds of neutrinos with different masses - they're called 'mass eigenstates'.
But there are also 3 kinds of neutrinos that interact differently with matter - they're called 'flavor eigenstates'.
And the mass eigenstates are not the same as the flavor eigenstates!!!
