Abstract

The Majorana phases of neutrino mixing matrix do not appear either in vacuum or in matter modified oscillation probabilities. It was previously shown that for some particular forms of decoherence, the neutrino oscillations do depend on Majorana phases. Here, we show that such dependence also occurs for neutrino decay scenarios where mass eigenstates are not the decay eigenstates. We calculate two flavour survival/oscillation probabilities in such a scenario and discuss their CP and CPT properties.
