Abstract
A description of neutrino oscillation phenomena is presented which is based on relativistic quantum mechanics with four-momentum conservation. This is different from both conventional approaches which arbitrarily use either equal energies or equal momenta for the different neutrino mass eigenstates. Both entangled state and source dependence aspects are also included. The time dependence of the wave function is found to be crucial to recovering the conventional result to second order in the neutrino masses. An ambiguity appears at fourth order which generally leads to source dependence, but the standard formula can be promoted to this order by a plausible convention.
