1. Lepton Number

   Linked via "lepton number violating decays"

   The observation of neutrino oscillations, where one flavor of neutrino transforms into another (e.g., $v\mu \rightarrow ve$), explicitly requires the violation of individual Lepton Flavor Conservation). This process, which is mediated by neutrino mass, implies that the flavor eigenstates are not the same as the mass eigenstates. Despite this flavor transformation, the total lepton number} $L$ remains conserved in these oscillation process…
