Neutrino Oscillations as a Lepton-Flavor-Violating Interaction

To describe neutrino oscillations in the sense of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, we propose to use an off-diagonal neutrino-Higgs (mass) interaction, as discussed originally in a family gauge theory and in the extended Standard Model. For neutrino oscillations which take place presumably between point-like Dirac particles, the proposed description would be unique in the quantum mechanics sense. This may help us to resolve a few outstanding puzzles - the question of why there are only three generations, the question of why the masses of neutrinos are so tiny, the question of why neutrinos oscillate, and the question of why the dark-matter world is so huge (25%) as compared to the visible ordinary-matter world (5%).
