The GSI anomaly — •Alexander Merle — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg

A recent experiment at GSI Darmstadt has measured an oscillatory modulation of the electron capture decay rates of heavy ions, which was attributed to neutrino mixing by some authors. This caused a lot of discussion in the community. Here, the experimental results are reviewed and it is shown, unsing quantum field theory why the neutrino mixing explanation cannot be the correct.
