Neutrions are produced and detected as flavor eigenstates να with α=e,μ,τ. These states have no fixed mass, but are the combinations of three mass eigenstates νk with k=1,2,3, with mass m1, m2 and m3, respectively. My questions are:
a) do neutrinos travel from source to the detector as flavor eigenstates or mass eigenstates?
b) is it possible to know which mass eigenstate the neutrino is in?
