On the Flavour States and the Mass States of Neutrinos

A structure based analysis of the pion’s decay path reveals that neutrinos show up in three flavours, each built up by three identical mass eigenstates. It requires a proper understanding of the nature of charged leptons, such as why the loss of binding energy stops the lepton generation at the tauon level. The analysis reveals fundamental interrelationships between mesons, charged leptons and neutrinos. It is shown that the results of the theoretical model for neutrinos developed in the article are in agreement with the results of the phenomenological PMNS model. The article ends with a discussion on the pros and cons of a structure based theory developed from first principles and phenomenological modelling.
