Li & Cheng is a tasteful, pioneering, and wonderful pedagogical text, but it is not a "working" text for detailed calculations.... | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 13:28 | comment | added | Cosmas Zachos | You are right the (3,2) entry you identified is also flakey. You may make life easier by choosing $\theta_1=0$, $\theta_2=\pi/2$ and noting what remains is not an orthogonal/unitary matrix... Have you checked for errata sheets, or subsequent editions? The PDG reviews should have solid, vetted versions. | |
| Jun 11, 2019 at 9:38 | comment | added | Oбжорoв | For completeness: the expression for the muon neutrino checks out as well, but not the one for the tau neutrino. So I guess that one has a sign error in the $cos \delta$ term. There seems to be a typo in the KM matrix (13.22) as well. This should be the same as (12.40), but the entry (3,2) is different. Unfortunately it seems that neither (12.40) nor (13.22) leads to (13.31). | |

| Jun 9, 2019 at 13:00 | comment | added | Cosmas Zachos | Probably a typo. What does your own direct calculation require/suggest? | |
