Abstract
The Berry phase of mixed states, here neutrino oscillations, is
calculated in an
accelerating and rotating reference frame. It turns out to
depend on the vacuum
mixing angle, the mass-squared difference and on the coupling
between the momentum of
the neutrino and the spinorial connection. Berry's phase for
solar neutrinos and its
geometrical aspects are also discussed.
