"Twin" Neutrinos: A Modified Two-Component Theory

Abstract

To overcome certain discrepancies between experiment and the predictions of conventional 2-component neutrino theory, a "twin neutrino" theory is proposed. In the more general formulation of this theory in part I, two different 2-component neutrinos ${\nu }_1$, ${\nu }_2$ of opposite screw-sense are introduced, together with their antiparticles ${\overline{\nu }}_1$, ${\overline{\nu }}_2$. In beta decay, one of these is coupled by $T$ and $V$ interactions, the other by $S$ and $A$ interactions. This eliminates all interference terms.
