Ivanov and Kienle [PRL 103, 062502 (2009)] have relegated this period to neutrino masses through neutrino mixing in the final state. New arguments are given here against this interpretation, while suggesting that these `GSI Oscillations' may be related to neutrino spin precession in the static magnetic field of the storage ring. This scenario requires a Dirac neutrino magnetic moment six times smaller than the Borexino solar neutrino upper limit 0.54 x 10E(-10) of the Bohr magneton [PRL 101, 091302 (2008)], and its consequences are explored.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v7", "updated": "2010-05-30T15:46:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-body electron-capture measurements", "neutrino effects", "borexino solar neutrino upper limit", "dirac neutrino magnetic moment", "recoil ions plus undetected neutrinos" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
