Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 121802 (2006) [4 pages]Distinguishing between Dirac and Majorana Neutrinos with Two-Particle InterferometryReceived 20 October 2005; published 31 March 2006 Two-particle interferometry, a second-order interference effect, is explored as another possible tool to distinguish between massive Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. A simple theoretical framework is discussed in the context of several gedanken experiments. The method can in principle provide both the mass scale and the quantum nature of the neutrino for a certain class of incoherent left-handed source currents. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
