Abstract
In the usual quantum field theoretical approach, neutrino oscillations are studied diagonalising either the mass or matter Hamiltonians. In this paper we analyse the problem from an on-shell amplitude perspective, where Lagrangians or Hamiltonians are not available. We start by studying in detail how flavor enters in the amplitudes and how the PMNS matrix emerges. We then analyse the elastic amplitude of two neutrinos and two charged leptons that induce matter effects and propose a strategy to obtain the known results of the standard oscillation theory without Hamiltonians. Finally, we extend the previously proposed procedure and use the most general elastic 4-point amplitude to study beyond the Standard Model effects on oscillations.
