Neutrino Flavor Symmetry and the 285-Degree Angle
Neutrinos are like invisible dancers who change masks mid-flight. The three types (electron, muon, and tau neutrinos) constantly morph into each other. This dance is described by a complex mixing matrix, and physicists have long tried to break it down into simple moves.
The authors of the new work reassembled one such decomposition, TM1, using the 'flavor spin' formalism.
