I'm currently doing a report on 'Neutrino Oscillations and mass'. I have spent today just trying to raise my understanding of Neutrinos/leptons and terminology to do with them. I'm still quite confused and still not entirely sure what in particular about a neutrino is oscillating. Is it the measured flux of neutrinos changing with distance, and if so is this due to a neutrino changing into different states? Also why is neutrino mass a result of neutrino oscillations?
Anyone who could link me to a basic introduction to terminology used in this area would be greatly appreciated. I'm still not sure what a lot of symbols mean like [itex]\Delta m^{2}_{S}[/itex] and why there is an angle mentioned.
